Yup.  I even have those posts.  Just think, the first disagreement on DM on
the net...

Well, _I_'ve sworn off flaming (yeah), but I can still critisize, can't I?

I agree with Dennis's year old statement that AD is a whole new ballgame.
In your arena, ther eare many factors that could allow a bad (or "pudlike"
as you put it a year ago) warrior to do well.  This could be centered around
a luck factor, lucky rolls, and a lot of other things.  Hell, why not a
whole series of hidden characteristics  like knockdown ability, crit
ability, or a lot of other things which could give hidden bonuses or
detriments to the warrior above and beyond (or below) the actual skill
base.?

Well?
