Whoops, let's try this again with the right distribution.

Okay, I really should have commented on this before, since it was my mail
that led to this little discussion.  Personally, I don't run scum.  Period.
If I get a good offensive TP roll-up someday I'll use it, but that's a whole
other ball of wax.  Anyways, as I remember, I put a caveat into my letter
to the effect that the designs I gave are how I would design them, and as a
result I ditched the low wit guys out of hand.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that whether you run a certain type
of warrior or not is your business, and it's hardly valid grounds for
critcizing someone's managing abilities.  Todd Thomson is a hell of a lot
more picky than I am about what kind of warriors he'll run, and I can't see
too many non-mega-managers seriously flaming him for his ideas on warrior
design.

Chill out dudes!
