Oh, we are in complete agreement, of course; as a mere list gadfly, I
wanted to let the real workers know how much I appreciate them.

But, you are quite right. I've the several versions of Starfire and Star
Fleet Battles, with longer histories but somehow having lost something,
as
well as a HUGE pile of works that each looked brilliant, and really hurt
with their demise. FT's staying power is worthy of pride.

Some of the ideas folks here have promoted on the list could have added
levels of complexity that might well have killed the system. You must
take
blame for keeping it still a nice, simple game with plenty of potential
for
adaption to what an individual wants. ;->=

Synergy are good.
