Actually this is very offensive...
My title: Shadowrun Line Developer

My wife Sharon Turner Mulvihill is the Managing Editor for all game products.


I also don't remember seeing your name in any products but I don't go around
making it the base of any arguments on-line. Deep breath...sigh

OK rant over.

I don't really understand your point nor your need to insult me to make that
point.

Absolutely nothing...FASAMike was responding to an unintelligible post
that was posted a while back (I couldn't figure out what his -the original
poster- point was either..). It largely sounded like an "oh, by
the way, no offence, but I don't think your for real.." comment.

I don't think it's such a good idea to insult Mike, since he works at
Fasa and you don't. Mike contributes a lot to this list, not to mention
he helps to create the literature we use.

You do realize that you're arguing with the guy that took over Tom Dowd's
job, don't you? If you're still not quite sure as to what i mean, take a
quick look inside the Credits section of your copy of the SRII core rule
book. Now, are you looking?, find Tom Dowd's name under "Development".
That is where Mike's name currently appears. It also appears under the
title "Shadowrun Line Developer" in the copies of The Shadowrun Companion
and of Awakenings that I have. So, if your wondering why we're taking
Mike's opinions as canon (or close to it:), it's because he's
_The_Man_!!!!! Mike is the DLoH around here, or, IOW, the Dark Lord on
High:)

After all, if Mike's position at FASA was nothing but the Managing
Editor's hubbie, I doubt we'd be considering his opinion any more
seriously than, well, yours;)

Mike, calm down. It's just some newbie who is a) unable to read
email-adresses, and b) opens his books at the equipment part, skipping
all other. No, I won't say the M-Word until I know more about him, but
that was a post that disqualified just Charles, not you.

Hm - Family business? (*grin* Sorry, couldn't resist)

I believe most of the thread was in the message Mike replied to, you
didn't miss much.

Well, when you work 24/7, the wife either leaves you or gets
involved. The Muhvihill's aren't the only husband and wife team at
FASA either. (bonus question....name 1 other such pairing)
