         Ahhhh! He has asked the Forbidden Question! Everyone flee the 
Listserver from the resulting flame-war!!!!:-)

         Seriously, suffice to say, there are strong feelings on all sides. 
Classic DL folks tend to hate DL D20 because, well, it's D20 and by 
extension, "not really DL." Many D20 folks (at least the vocal ones) hate 
the system port. People who like DL D20 have the misfortune of getting 
caught between these very passionate extremes.

         Please no one take this as a cue to reignite the debate as to 
which one "ROOLZ" and which one "SUX" or I will take out contract hits on 
you all.
