Okay: What's the difference between new Armor and a straight increase
in the Body rating? (The *only* difference I can come up with is Bounty
Hunter.)

I do agree that there are enough (A2) and (A3) Runners in the game. Add
in some Armor or effects from other cards, and you get massive damage
resistance. I'd counter this by creatig more ways to thwart armor,
rather than rewrite the rules.

By the way, Jeff, your post was popped over in HTML format. Please
check to see if there's a way to turn this off on your mailer - it took
a while to decipher.
