*GASP!* No!  We call those people dirty names and look upon them with
pity for not supporting such a great game.

My roommate does this.  He has the Smith and Robards book, the Players
Handbook, the Agency book, and he's planning to get the Collegium book
when it comes out.  His girlfriend and I, however have every single
book.  Since we live in the same house, this means that we have four
copies of some books in the house.

I, and the other Marshal of our group, love the players reading the
Posse sections as we feel it gives them a better understanding of the
world around them and they're just darn entertaining reads! :)

I say leave well enough alone.  If you got rid of the Posse section,
which is arguably the most entertaining section of the book, or even
shortened it then much of the "fun reading" quality of the books would
be lost as has happened to the adventures.
