It makes me feel much more hopeful that the 'big ticket' concerns of the community will be addressed, even if it's almost a law of physics that not everyone can be pleased all the time.I'm also glad you feel that way.  There's a sizable chunk of the community that would be really happy if you could get just a few more WotC people to care about this stuff.  It's really helpful when the rules don't actively encourage a world that's just whacky, or makes no sense.</blockquote>
