Preface: Recently someone became upset when I corrected his blatanly erroneous answers to a question posted on this newsgroup. I did so untactfully. --- An open letter to unhappy posters of incorrect information who feel mistreated by me: If one posts an answer, it would be nice if one checked with a rulebook before misquoting it, or read a card before claiming text on it which is not. The rules are confusing enough with adding more inconsistencies through o'er-hasty replies. If one can't post a correct answer, then no answer would be preferable to an incorrect one. As far as my having too much time on my hands (as evidenced by my correctly quoting the rulebook), I believe that the people who post questions are asking for help from people who understand the rules. People who understand the rules usually have too much time on their hands :-) I would be happy to leave the thin-skinned types to their own ignorance, but prefer to help the "newbies" and anyone else understand what I believe is an exceptional game. If you are unhappy with your treatment for posting incorrect answers, then post correct ones, don't whine to me. L. Scott Johnson
