The curious thing is that I don't even like most of the rule changes from
what I've read here.
Still, I'm glad that Steve used those regulations to get TFT back, and I'm
glad there's at least a reprint. And I do agree that Joe probably had a
non-zero effect on that, as well as all of you out on the list.
Yay us!
