It would be quite surprising if anyone did agree with everything I say! Heck, I'm often discovering that I don't agree with everything I say. (^_^)
The "limited" v. "unlimited" is an interesting case. On the one hand, I do think that classic D&D's "limitations" make the game better. On the other hand, I don't find any of its "limitations" binding, but rather an invitation to fill in the blanks myself or break them.
No doubt the actually getting to play classic D&D--not just as a one-off--will have some additional impact on my opinions of it.
You can find the seeds of me learning & struggling to put all that stuff into words right here in this forum (& at DF). If I've written anything of value, I'm sure it was taught me by the community. I'm certainly glad that there are those who find my attempt to collect some of it together worth reading.
