Re: [DL] Comments from someone new to the List

Hi all,

     I just wanted to take some timeout to agree with Harvey.  I had the 
oppurtunity to meet some of the Pinnacle Staff, at a retailer's convention 
in Berkeley this year.  A fun group who actually seems to play their games!  
Always a refreshing change from the norm of manufacturers, who mostly just 
edit, and often times aren't aware of what exactly they are shipping out.  
So, thanks to all those Pinnacle People who make the games worth it!  Also, 
in case I wasn't clear at the convention, and you guys end up reading 
this..... Excellent Product!!!

                            Jason Adkins
