Kong, I had a whole long post addressing many of the pointsyou seem to have contention with when I realized the main thing I've learned in our interactions over the past year or so. Doing so would be a waste of both your time and mine, as an agreement will likely never be reached.
So, in the age-old tradition of this board, I'm going to suggest we simply agree to disagree and move on to something a little more constructive.
To the rest of the folks participating in this thread, I want to inform you I will be closing it because it has evolved from discussing the Fellowship Sourcebook into something else entriely.
If there are other aspects that were brought up in this thread you wish to discuss, I suggest doing as John Kim has already done and creating a new thread.
Have a nice day!
