Q. A few people have started asking their own questions for inclusion in
the FAQ. They all are preying on the easy target of this entire
production's inherent irony, in attempt to be cute, or funny. Do you
have any comment on this?
A. I'm all for it. I've learned from my mistakes, though. I used to
answer every question that came down the pike, never stopping to think if
they were asked in jest or not, and only came to my senses after the
rather humiliating experience of hearing them snickering behind my back
about how obtuse I seemed to be. It hurt me deeply, but as they say,
that which does not kill us...

Q. What about the guy who suggested you move this to a "more
appropriate" newsgroup?
A. If he does not believe strategy is an integral part of correct Pong
play, he is deluding himself, and shielding himself from attaining a
higher understand of the science - nay, the art - that is Pong.

Q. What about the guy who wanted a repost?
A. I'll repost when I'm damn good and ready, and not one second before.

Q. You seem sort of hostile today. I thought we were all friends here.
A. Friends can allow a friend to have an off-day. As I've explained
before, these have been emotionally trying times. Because of that, I
haven't been able to commit enough time to my Pong duties as I would
like. This, in turn, depresses me further. It's a dangerous,
self-destructive spiral. Friends will help break the chain.

Q. We'll do what we can, I'm sure.
A. I really appreciate that. I only hope that some day, I'll be able to
reciprocate in kind.

Q. Would it help if I asked some Pong questions?
A. That's...that's real big of ya.

Q. OK. Let's try this one : Are there bonus rounds in Pong?
A.

Q. Hello?
A. I'm sorry...I guess I'm really having trouble focusing. I've not the
energy or the motivation right now to answer Pong questions. I'd rather
remain silent than tarnish the beauty of Pong by answering insufficiently
or incorrectly. Fears...fears. I'm becoming paralyzed by them.

Q. Should we take another break? You've been having a tough time lately.
A. Maybe I better. When can we try again?

Q. How about tomorrow, same time.
A. Sounds good. Again, I'm sorry about this.

Q. Don't be sorry. This isn't just about Pong. This is about you.
Just be happy, if you can.
A. I'll try...
