#7468 complaints, complaints

Folks:

I understand that lots of people have problems with TNE, and this mailing list
exists to let Traveller players exchange opinions, BUT . . .
	Once again the mass of TNE gripes has gotten boring.
	Maybe we should just start a new mailing list -- TNE-Gripe, or some-
thing like that.  People could exchange messages moaning about GDW and TNE to
their hearts' content, and the rest of us wouldn't have to subscribe.

I have a better idea. How about a 'GDW_sycophant' mailing list for silly
msgs like yours?

Seconded.  Pointing out minor rules problems is one thing.  Bitching and
moaning about TNE is another, less useful thing.  I admit to my fair
(unfair?) share!  But get real, people -- TNE is here.  If it goes away,
any perceived problems notwithstanding, it would be a Bad Thing (tm).
It would be stupid for GDW to abandon a new system, especially since
it's basically two of the old systems.

Not that I'd like to see people stop pointing out problems with the rules.
We need to know about those.  But it would be nice if people would relax
a little about all this -- after all, the Traveller Police won't stop
you from changing the rules you don't like to something better.

Meat thrown to the rules lawyers:  there's some interesting minor changes
to the anagathics/aging rules in TNE, in particular in regard to progression
down the aging table.  Under the new rules, while using anagathics, you
still progress down the aging table.  Personally not sure whether I'll
use it that way or use the MegaT interpretation yet.
