Well, I must say that I agree with you! ;)
I like cyberpunk atmospheres, and very much dislike the integration of
other genres into those that are meant to be cyberpunk. I like
shadowrun because I am such a fan of cyber and magic, that seeing magic
in a cyber genre really strikes a chord with me. (which is why, no
matter what problems srun has, I stand behind it--it's a great idea!)
You won't get any arguments from me when it comes to this, cummer. :)

Justin :)
