I like reviewing things through debate. With feedback the
troublesome issues can be properly viewed or, more to my style, ripped
apart to see what's broken so it can be rebuilt into a "stronger" idea,
as it were. I would have loved to have gotten into some type review on
the companion before it hit. That book does make me wary of what could
happen with the new rules. <shudder>
Now the trick would be to recognize when a topic has gone from a
debate to just flogging a dead horse.
Besides, I hate the idea that people could be sending in silly ideas
that could get published without me ever having a chance for countering
it.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
