I have to back Mike up on this. The folks at FASA have been
extremely carefull about creator's rights. Just because something
shows up in more than one place doesn't mean that it was stolen by
one party or the other.

Some of the rules added into SRII were house rules that we had in
effect for a while, but FASA couldn't have stolen them from us
because we had no contact with them at the time. People develop the
same ideas all the time. It happens.

Mike has enough work to do without having to fend off these
accusations. It's on your heads if the next product is 10 minutes
late. <G>

BTW, why is Linda's name so familiar to me? I know it for some
reason.
