<DIV>Dan Zappone:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Here's what Matt had to say in the thread:<BR>><BR>> "We
selected a number of people with good track records on the Newsgroup and</DIV>
<DIV>> invited them to a more private list. After getting a wide range of
opinions<BR>> in, we now need to narrow the focus and hammer out the
remaining balance<BR>> issues.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Purely as a matter of interest, is anyone on this group one of the "people
with good track records" who have been invitied to take part in the current
playtesting?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't particularly want to know what's going on, I'm just interested in
how many old-school RQers are involved.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tony Den:</DIV>
<DIV>> I suppose only time will tell. I can see what they said re the use of
the playtest group, way too many people </DIV>
<DIV>> just couldn't stick to the pretty simple rule of staying on topic. I
had to unsubscribe after recei ving 750 odd e-</DIV>
<DIV>> mails in a week.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That's why I subscribe to all these groups in Daily Digest form. Sometimes
even that's too much.</DIV>
