Well, then you shall press GZG to do so and I shall press him not to do
so.  And that's as it should be.

Well we have completely incompatible 'goals' it seems.	Que sera, sera. 
Now I agree it would be nice to have an index!	So much time in the rule
books in part and parcel of playing more then one rule set <grin> but I
understand your feeling.  I used yo have those kind of ideas... when I
was young. <grin>  Seriously, I find the DS2 rules '...just fine for
me...' but again our different uses and interests put us on opposite
ends
of the question.

And I will.  And you should definitely follow GZG's dictum and change
what doesn't satisfy you.

The do so, by all means.  And let us know how it works out (AAR's and
such) please.

I wish you well in your endeavors (just as long as it doesn't convince
GZG to change a "perfectly good game" that is.) <VBG>
