Well, *I*  certainly wasn't offended!  My apologies if it somehow
sounded
that I was.  I was just entertained by the fact that Jon himself
submitted
this "mistake" to Murphy's rules hiself!  Most game designers would
rather
die than admit that there might be any sort of percieved flaw in one of
their systems.	Jon, of course, is Better Than That.

And I must add that I don't think that FT is a "pretty good game
system"...I think that it's a *Damned* Good Game System!
