Re: New Full Thrust point defence rules

For what it's worth...(and it isn't worth all that much)...I'd like to
add
the following:

1) I love these conversations.	Reading them over the last 10+ years has
shown me that the GZG Gaming Audience is an eclectic bunch.  For every
voice in the wilderness who says "I think I have a fix for X" you get a
few
"I'll have to try that." (which is high praise indeed) and then many
more
"I don't like this."  People keep trying.

2) Having only ever played FB games I never really had to deal with a
soap-bubble.  It always seemed very odd to me to spend so much time
going
back and forth over an edge case.
