And, since nothing has changed regarding the publication, _elsewhere_, of said
phantom errata, then the officialdom it MAY once have enjoyed, is GONE.
In ten years of playing SR, through several editions now, not ONCE have I
heard of such a thing. From anyone or anywhere.
To my mind, that robs this "errata" of _any_ officialness it might have been
_intended_ to enjoy. If the people NOT on this list do not get the errata,
then no matter what, no matter WHO, no matter WHEN ... even if the Lord God
Almight and Holy Jesus theirSELVES say it, if it's only said (a) here or (b)
online in general, it is _not_ official, because Bobby-twelve-year-old stuck
OFFline without a PC at all, CAN have no idea of this "errata." He cannot
_see_ it, so, to _him_ at the very least, IT DOES NOT EXIST. :-)
And I only got to this list within the past week. I'm supposed to accept an
errata that was reputedly stated only on this list (and never once in any of
the subsequent products, period, at all), several years ago, as official?
Unless it's on FASA's own website, NOPE. not going to happen.
In your campaign, in your game, fine. Not a problem.
But that is NOT official. Any more than my OWN house rules are ...
