[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 9420997, member: 75077"] This is entirely sane and reasonable...as has been Snarf's expressions along the line of "why is this still a conversation topic?" Arguing about what the new books are called (especially when there is an obvious motivation to make it clear that third party material and earlier material published by Wizards of the Coast from 2014 on still work with the new books) is such a low-level use of the mind...categorization being one of the least interesting uses of the intellect. The naming of the new books also appears to be an easy target for those with a penchant for [I]obsessing[/I] over categorization. Their intellect is on display here, especially when compared to other (far more stimulating) topics that people discuss on these boards. I was convinced that one particularly obsessed person was probably a teenager and that is why he or she posts scores of posts daily reiterating the same complaint about categorization and naming, only to read in one of this person's own posts that he or she is much older than being an adolescent. It made me sad. Thanks for your clarity of expression and thinking, Snarf. I have appreciated your post here as well as your other (more intellectually-stimulating) topics and contributions.
