As there is no other forum or venue through which FASA can communicate
directly to the public (other than mail), this is the perfect and only
place for there to be player discussion/feedback. I don't argue the
philosophical faults (or lack thereof) of a democratic system, but FAQs are
Net.based and if you are serious about a card game you are (almost without
exception) involved through the net.

P.S.
Listserv decisions are never right or wrong, prior net.decisions may be in
conflict with final rules interpretations, but they hold weight and well
enough should!
