I'm really sorry if it came across that way.  I certainly didn't mean to
imply that.  Our group had its share of rules that took longer to learn as
well.  I was just curious if it was a specific part of the rules that was
more difficult to understand.  Again, I apologize if I accidently insulted
you.

Again, apparently I wasn't clear as to what I meant to say.  I was trying to
clarify that your problems with D20 are not specific to the D20 system.  You
dislike D&D specifically.  Do you also dislike other class based systems?
