Well sometimes sources ask not to named for reasons of their own, ie might
lose their job/work contract, might compromise a trust, etc. Sources do not
always like to directly quoted.

Right now I am just asking for any rumors/scuttlebutt that any one else
might have heard. Seeing if what I was told cross checks with what others
have "heard".

Lets say that right now the subject is greater than a scuttlebutt but less
than a rumor.<g>

As for the veracity of the rumor/scuttlebutt only time will tell. If their
was some truth to the matter, FASA and others would deny until the deal was
finalized. That is just current business practise not just in the role
playing game industry.

As to why FASA would sell to another, well sometimes people want a change,
sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. That is just conjecture on my part.
