I still don't believe Bob was beling serious. I weould have picked the
two companies in question as 'least likely to fold'. On the other hand
Bob was doing a good job as a sort of Shock-Jock comlumnist. Did wonders
for circulation figures (I gained about 100 readers overnight).

Irony, for those on this side of the Atlantic who understand that sort
of thing.

You are kidding!? For those who don't know, this is a guy who kicked up
an enormous storm in a teacup over a refund, took Madhouse to court I
beleive, then persisted in sending me whole reams of correspondance.

So Steve, how come someone who took you to court can play Dungeonworld,
yet I'm banned from all Madhouse games? I'd like to have played Riddle
of the Sands, but...

Colin.
