WizDragon	MouseDrop() is easier and more efficient, but is MouseDown() and MouseUp() more sensitive?

Believe it or not, MouseDrop() is actually a preferred choice for sensitivity and efficiency. With MouseDrop(), the events are handled on the client's end up until they actually drop the object.

MouseDown() and MouseUp() actually require the client to send the data to the server first, so they'll be less accurate as lag increases.
