ROFL!   Well said.

I'll never play on EA's servers.  Never did, never will.   They are too 
unorganized, full of TKers, and you can't have a decent game there.

Everyone I know agrees with that as well, and we'll be playing on 
privately funded GSP hosted servers.  If they're unofficial, then so be 
it.  At least we'll have a decent game.

In fact, since I'm no longer hosting, I'll be coming to one of you guys 
to rent an "unofficial" server in the US.   :)
