I think I mentioned that I choose not to play him. I don't even like the
whole skillsoft things. Two Skwaaaark!s tend to be enough for me anyway ;-)

Anyway, I thought you'd be happy....it shows there's still some life on
this list ;-)

But the question was raised about Uncle Joe, and it was a good question.
It's also good to see that there's differing opinion on the matter. It
will be nice to hear how the card itself was INTENDED to be played, but
realisticly, unless you're a tournament player, who cares? House rules
dominate where I live, so either way, there's no real right or wrong answer...

If I'm right, big deal. If I'm wrong, see if I'm right....

Although I will ask next time someone tells me that I'm overlooking "simple
logic," I wish they'd back that up with some good Venn diagrams or
something, more than just "because it says (a), it's (b)...."

I miss Venn diagrams... ;-)

Cheers,

Jon
