HOW does this stupid rumour live on? I mean it has been repeatedly
explained away here, in the newsgroups etc.. BUT there are the devout
believers of the 16 2-sided line def god of HOM.. There NEVER was a 16
2-sided line def limit.. (only the maximum number of line defs [2 sided
and single sided] visible at one time and it WAS increased significantly
in one of the early patches..)
Well, 'nuff said.. Time to prepare for the next question of 2 sidedness
yet to come..
