Like others I think it's more a case of getting things back into
balance again. I remember that a lot of people on the list tended to
rant a lot about the IE influence, and I for once are quite happy
that they've been (or are going to) taken down a peg or two. It was
slowly turning into a Magical Mistery Tour and the world always
seemed to be on the brick of extinsion by some kind of magical
monster. It reminded me a lot of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying
Game.
Personally I think that humanity (including all other species) was
nasty enough to keep the life of a shadowrunner interesting.
Enough ramblings in the style of "In my time we had some REAL
shadowrunners, we didn't need mr pansy Harlequin to safe our buns,
rant, rant"
Add one to the ON camp.
