stop talking to the guy next to you and take notice!

You could try to be clear, instead of scarcastic.

= is the symbol used to show equality between two parts
for example if we say

kitten = cool nice beings

we mean that kitten are what they are
now, here comes the tricky part
!= is the opposite symbol!!
example

People who play IP != PBEM players

which means that the people who play IP are NOT the same with the people that play PBEM

I have NEVER seen != meaning an inverse proposition, you will forgive me if my geekdom has yet to reach your level.
At least you see the last part, what I tried to tell you all along.

got it?

Yes

any questions?

Why did you bring this up in the first place?

want me to repeat anything?

You could recite Plato's republic, might be interesting.

here are more examples

This forum = Civ2-Multiplaying
This forum != Civ2-IP Multiplaying
IP Multiplaying = Multiplaying
PBEM != IP Multiplaying
PBEM = Multiplaying

Very good, you win a cookie.

He means that it's for multiplaying generally, which encompasses both PBEM and IP games

correct
if you search you'll actually find a couple of pbem games in this forum

ok so what did you think the ! was for?

[Chris 62]

I thought you made a typo, and I saw Mercator's post.
