Actually, they were more statements then questions. Basically just
some of the things that just came off my head after seeing each card for
the fist time.

Yegad! You're not kidding. I thought Lou got rather antagonistic, but
atleast he only does it when there are like 20 some odd mails saying he
was foolish for making some rule decision for Earthdawn.

In my defence I'ld like to point out that they are the only two drones
without a threat rating. Even the microskimmer is a 0/1....

Ummm, I'ld rather take my chances with Adam Bomb, Cortex Bomb and Time
Delayed bomb then Cherrybomb.... Besides I get something out of the
latter locations.

This rule is fine by me. I just thought I should point out that it
would be possible to actually make money off return visits. I find
it rather funny that Leo is stupid enough to pay up to 3Y for
something he will just give away for free. I guess he is a
philanthropist... ;)

As for the really flipant remark about the K9 Unit, all I want to
say is that if I didn't read the card carefully I wouldn't have
asked the question....
