Re: [DL] Black Circle Errata [PEG]

[Munch Wolf <munchwolf@yahoo.com>]

Is it just me or does this letter below seem rude? 
Someone asked a question which has been asked several
times already, and Nick answered it.  The answer is
ignored, and the question asked again.

Do people realize there is an archive out there?
http://www.gamerz.net/archives/deadlands/

I know the searchable one is down, but the answers are
still out there.

Anyway, here's a link to a reply by John Goff
answering this question:
http://www.gamerz.net/archives/deadlands/200105/msg00095.html

He wrote the book, so his answer should be trustworthy
enough (btw, for those who don't want to bother on
clicking and want to ask the question AGAIN, he says
the same thing Nick says.  It should all be 1878).
