Well, it really doesn't. You probably don't care. And that's fine.However, that's really not the crux of my point. My actual point is this.If, as you claim, you can easily produce material of significantly higher quality and relevance than Ms. Mazzanoble I feel I need to ask the following questions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why is your original and secondary post on the matter not chock full of fun to read and wittily rendered relevant criticisms of the material?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why are you not already writing columns for WotC? Presumably they would pay you more than they are currently paying Shelly for her talent.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why have you not yet provided clear examples of your greater capability and talent with the written word?</li> </ul>Anyhow, that's pretty much the sum of my thoughts on the matter.Cheers!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
