Danke Gurth, That was driving me bonkers when someone would talk about
that an wouldn't explain (except perhaps with "that's the rules") ... I
wish FASA had stated something explicity somewhere, especially
considering there were previous rules that penalized mages in the Matrix
:( ... a good place would have been the BBB section on changes to
previous SBs ... :(

BTW, Gurth is there anything (about SR) you /Don't/ know? ;)
