Maybe not. :)

Why not? This is a list devoted to Shadowrun, it wouldn't be the first
time the subject has come up, and won't be the last, and every time it
does it'll eventually start a flame, so what the heck :)

Neither and both. The ideas you had were perfectly reasonable, except
that after reading it, I felt it might be worthwhile commenting on it in
case some of those new to the game didn't consider the consequences, and
thought that "Hey, that'd be a cool idea."

Well, Bruce. I'm sorry you've taken it as a personal attack on yourself,
it wasn't intended that way, and I don't recall anywhere in the post,
where I mentioned you specifically, I merely played devil's advocate to
your suggestions, but if you want to take it personally, hey, that's
your privilege.
