Agreed Matt and I myself also brought it up recently and recieved the 
same response. Which is why I made the comment that we all had to play 
nice with eachother. I also would like to take care to point out I was 
trained on original deadlands about 4 years ago, and the only reason I 
run D20 is cause some people really enjoy the idea that they can play 
all there favorite games without learning a new system. In fact this 
was mentioned by someone on the list. So I am sure you all will 
understand that we intend to discuss D20 Deadlands here until I 
recieve a personal email from the high muckity mucks themselves asking 
me to keep the list pure of the OGL evil taint. In the meantime I am 
no expert but am certainly well versed in D20 and would be happy to 
answer your questions, as would any of the authors(Fred Jandt in 
particular is very helpful and willing to assist). So I think this 
whole thing has made me smile. I feel very good about the direction 
that DL is headed and fully support the authors who are working very 
hard.
