I don't mean to criticize but I supsect you are in a (very) minority
situation there. *MOST* of the people on this list are regular gamers
and
as such a regular supply of new ideas, be they ship designs, scenarios
etc
are quite welcome. While the discussion of heraldry and flags was quite
interesting *it is not what this list is about*.  You wouldn't expect
your
bank manager to start discussing his bad back when you are trying to get
your finances sorted out. It's not *appropriate* and that's why I asked
for
it to be taken off the list. I have no problem with people conmtinuing
the
discussion in private if they wish, but as far as this list goes it was
noise, pure and simple.

Hmm... I have sort of a rule of thumb about these things. If it seems
decent material for a sourcebook, I let it roll. It seemed to me some
detail on the Krav'Vak	would be interesting in FB6: Kra'Vak hordes (or
whatever). If I bought an FT sourcebook and all it had in it were paint
schemes and flag designs, I'd be mightily upset. I know that's only my
opinion but then as list admin I have to use my judgement to make these
decisions.
