Because if not, that's pretty different than public figures from the previous century. there are some actual historical records about them.

I get why you guys are trying to compare it to Dynasty Warriors and stuff, but it's just to find a loophole. you don't actually think Barkley vs. Jordan is a great rivalry for the ages. it's just funny to think of it that way and you want it in. that makes sense, but so does disallowing it for that same reason. -- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:387921] in Bacon: ...
