[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 3009739, member: 32740"] I took the non-responsive option because there is no other option that reasonably represents my feelings on the matter. I don't DISlike talking about 4E as such, but I do try to avoid it. When we start getting verified word that 4E is an active project I'll start throwing in my 2cp on what I would want and why. Until then I try to avoid it as it just seems like tedious, pointless speculation at best andat worst are irritating whinefests about how terrible things are now and how they are bound to only get worse with a new edition. Most grating of all is the hopeless preoccupation with when [I]when[/I] WHEN. That more than any other aspect is what allows me to so easily keep away from the topic. When we have even a minimal, reliable notion of what 4E will actually BE, only then can anyone speculate meaningfully on whether they'll be adopting that new edition. Excepting perhaps if they are simply stating that they plan right now to be dead-broke for an indefinite period and will not afford it, or are avowed Luddites to whom the actual content of a new edition is quite irrelevant. JMHO. Oh, and meanwhile I'm content to simply work with what currently exists - just as I worked continuously with 2E until perhaps May of 2000, a few months before 3E's confirmed release. [/QUOTE]
