I can state categorically that my intention was not to promote or advertise the book. As I mentioned in the original RPGnet thread, someone asked me if HR was the largest, and I didn't know the answer. My intention for the thread was to answer that question. It's a legitimate question from an RPG-history perspective.Now, I understand that the mods cannot endeavor to determine a poster's intent, so they rely on their interpretation. Eridanis believed the thread was more apt in this forum and moved it here. While I disagree with the conclusion, I respect it. He was doing his job and did so respectfully and succinctly, without any ado. I even recognize that asking the question inherently involves mention of the book and provides a basis for making that determination. Others have reached the same conclusion as you. It seems clear to me now that my interpretation of my initial post is colored by the context of why I wrote it, while readers of that post come into it without that context and reach a different conclusion. That's fine. The thread's been moved. It's moot now. What I can't understand is the commotion it caused. Honestly, it's not the first thread on EN World ever to get moved.Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
