I think this is where my misinterpretation came in, I see it as you're
logging off the RTG/LTg when you access a private Host, be it on a PLTG or
not.

Now this I obviously didn't remember :)

'Twasn't taken as one, I'm not easy to rile :)

I think I still might use my view of it though, it seems to make more
sense to me, and gives starting deckers a chance, otherwoise their sec
tally will likely be at 5+ when they simply log on to a private host
(logging onto LTG, searching for LTG number, then logging onto host) and
thus they will automatically trigger some form of IC, likely Probe which
effectively double the speed at which teh tally incraeses :(
