Just as a note, I double checked and I couldn't find any reference to it in 
the Accumulated Rulings.  At least, not looking under the Character Creation 
and Quirks tags, or by doing a Search of the page.  We also couldn't really 
find anywhere that it was implied, and at least one point where it seemed to 
simply treat skill points like skill points, with no further distinction.

Of course, Matt may very well have stated it here, but without his answer in 
the Accumulated Rulings or elsewhere, that isn't of much use.

The other reason we had problems with that concept is that (presumably) if 
you take no Negative Quirks, such a ruling would prevent you from taking any 
Positive Quirks.  I suppose it's unlikely, but not impossible, that a 
character might be created without any Negative Quirks...  But if a player 
really wanted to do this, they'd be limited.
