The problem I had was that all I read was to do with heraldry and
whether a
creature is a Dragon or a Wyvern.   Whats worse is that this was
becoming a
point of contention!  Maybe if I looked at the start of the thread that
would have made more sense. I'm not trying to censor what goes on on the
list (I've been on it long enough now to know better) I was just
wondering
if someone could point out how it went from a topic on NAC to an
in-depth
discussion on heraldry (interesting as it is also).
  
In recent times this list has got busier than it ever was so I find that
where I once used to read every message I now can only skim through
them.
 As for the Kra'vak I suppose I didn't complain because this topic
really
interests me.  We have very little background on them whereas I can make
an
educated guess about the NAC based as they are on America, Britain, and
Canada.  

Anyway I've just managed to waste more bandwidth for everyone.
