Two apologies are in order.
1) Apology to Ken: I missed a lengthy, reasoned comment on an old blog post of mine. I've only now finally responded to it here .
2) Apology to several Steve Jackson Games GURPS Forum compadres: Not long ago, I discovered that I had several "private messages" in my forum account Inbox. Private messages?? I'd never noticed before; my bad.
The messages are from early 2005 (I assume people stopped private messaging when they realized I didn't answer). They're good folks I know from email, though. So if you private messaged me on the forums with nothing but dead air in response, please accept my apology. I've either already been in with you by email, or will pick up the thread in an appropriate place (by email or on this site).
