Huh?
I thought I was involved in this discussion already, are my posts getting
through?
I was just clarifying for Victor why we were discussing this; or more
accurately why I am involved in discussing this. In cases like the F
vs.F/2 debate I would normally take the position that it doesn't matter,
use whatever makes you happy, then I wouldn't have to stress over
nightlife's insistence that mages take damage every time they cast a spell
;-> That's why, although I've been on the list for like two years now I
hardly ever post.

Geez I'm feeling sorta invisible...
