Is this entire story going to start again ??
I think Rich is doing a great job running the
turns and since he is the GM, he will decide when
a bug should be fixed and when it is not nessecary
or too difficult to fix a bug.

So please let him do his work instead of always
complaining.
My thought is that if you don't like then quit or
start your own PBM if you think you can do it better

PS: my thanks to Rich for this great game and all the fun
that I have had in the last year and a half
