Amen...

[I mean really, If we all spent as much time writing campaign stuff
like
actors, maps, places, etc, as we do griping and proposing/discussing
rule changes we would have an INCREDIBLE setting.  In the spirit of
this, I shall no longer be a participant in any rules debates
because in the end they really don't matter]

I as a GM will only go by the rules in the book or written down and
approved errata.
