And I imagine myself to be a *littletinyperson* beneath WotC's notice.)Oh, and for all the "whining" that it seems I am doing, I still do realize the benefit of having the d20 license available.  For that, I am still grateful.  (Though, I had flirted with FUDGE and GURPS prior to this.)</blockquote>
