[Rq-rules] Mongoose Runequest

Despite your dismissive & deriding comments (bordering on insulting - 
but that's been par for Mongoose) of those of us who don't feel the way 
the "Company Flack" does, we have given MRQ a fair trial & we found it 
wanting. I prefer to be a "grumpy old man" & either use my old copies or 
use DBRP which so far seems to integrate the original with it's variants 
in its mechanics & spirit. If I wanted to play a D20 variant (despite 
Mongoose labeling it RuneQuest), I would buy a D20 variant.

Takk,
Sven
