Interesting comments, one and all.
Let's look at them shall we?
While Bull was certainly a little brusk with his post, he WAS giving you
some input.
Very good input I might add.
Doing a search through the ShadowRN logs will allow you to find answers to
all the questions you posted.
The reason Bull was a little short-tempered was because most of us
"old-timers" have been hashing out this "What the heck is wrong with
FASA/SR3?" bit for over a year now.
It does get old.
Let's face it, this mailing list is a dynamic entity, and reading all this
mail, much less responding to it can be tedious.
So if I sent a post exaplining my opinion on the current state of "flavor"
in SR3 just about a month ago, and then someone dredges up an almost
identical question this month ... am I gonna spend another hour or so
posting almost identical information that the bulk of the list already has?
No. sorry. Human nature just isn't like that, especially when you have
already covered this ground before.
You asked Bull not to waste his time, but that is exactly what you are
asking us to do - cover ground that has already been handled.
If you really want more help, then it wouldn't hurt to ask a little more ...
for lack of a better word "nicely."
You mention that your not a big "geek" - that's fine, but you would go too
far wrong by learning a little basic netiquette, and by being a little less
confrontational in your posts.
Friendly people get mail.
Annoying people get ignored. ;-)
So I guess I'm giving you the same answer in slightly more polite tones.
Go look in the logs at ... http://www.jackpoint.org
Search for subject lines with words like SR3, flavor, and Neo-Anarchists
they should be informative
You want specific?
Fine.

And check out the Subjects "Narrowing of Focus", "Harrowing of
Focus", and
"Wait and See"
Those should provide you some of the info you're looking for.
Oh yeah, that's your one freebie from me.
From now on you do your own research, just like a Big Boy, OK? ;-)
Just like the rest of us. ;-)
>" Religion is a crutch for those who lack the moral courage and intestinal
>fortitude to face reality on their own terms"
Oh yeah, I think "inflammatory" is a very good description here. ;-)
You should look in the archives and logs for some folks named Ripclaw, and
TopCat and see how they fared here! ;-)
Tone it down a little pal.
We CAN all get along if we have a little patience and respect for each
other. ;-)
