That the complaint is baseless doesn't matter; their satisfaction comes from eliciting at least one other voice that agrees with them. People like this don't want answers and won't look for them. That's not their goal. Don't let people like this get to you. As for the rest of the people who DO want answers but complain because they don't know the answer is already available: Joe, we are the ones who rely on folks like you and your reviews to tell us what problems every newest book can solve. Like you said, you read a lot of books -- way more than I ever will. Personally, I find yours and Psion's reviews to be the basis of most of my purchasing decisions. And I haven't been disappointed. Likewise, there is a clear cadre of people on these forums that have the breadth of knowledge to help me solve most issues I may have with the game. That's why I read and post here. However, I heartily agree with the poster that suggested the value of indexing the review archive by topical matter. Help me find reviews of the old releases that may solve my latest problem. As for "official" and un-official sources: I've played off and on for more than 25 years. From the early days of A&E and the Judge's Guild to today's d20 publishers, whoever has the stuff I need and want gets my vote of support. I shudder to think about everything I would have missed out on over the years if I closed my eyes to all but those bearing the king's seal. Carl</blockquote>
