[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5267723, member: 21076"] Nice. Yeah, I think I have it figured out now. Seeing as the thread started about the RPG materials that were not linked to anymore and then a reply from Hussar without quoting the link to the Classic Fantasy stuff led to my genuine confusion. Quoting is a good thing to help make sure people know what you are posting about - [b][i]especially[/i][/b] when there are two lists being discussed in this thread. And upon my first reading of his post I thought he was. There seem to be others that had misunderstood initially as well. A quote would have helped one know immediately which list in the thread he was referring to the initial RPG list or the classic fantasy list and avoid confusion. It seems a lot of this thread is centering around malicious intentions being placed on genuine misunderstandings sending people to the defensive quite quickly. It is a message board, and much like email, phrasing is often misinterpreted as it is hard to get context or tone of a post through written words only. It is always good for one to remember that even though what one posted seems clear as day to you, it might not have been so to the reader and need a little additional clarification before going to your guns.
