Timofei, ignore these poor non-RGRA souls :-) P.S. My favourite was the one where TB punches Mike through the monitor.

'Mike Throll' is based on an idiot that pops up every so often on RGRA and says something immensely stupid. His first act on introducing himself to us was to say that someone should research the meaning of a certain event in the game ADOM... hence, 'someone should research that' was born. And if he didn't say SSRT at the end of the strip, it wouldn't be Mike Throll. In which case, if you don't like it, make your own and don't ask other people to completely change their's.

You just don't get the joke. You might as well say any film which is in a language you don't understand is crap. Or say that an impressionist is crap just because you don't know the person he's doing an impression of, or that a satirist is crap just because you don't pay attention to the news.
