I want to back up Graham on this. Don't put hm in the position of making value judgements on the matter. He does anough great service for the Glorantha community to not be burdened with this.

I am interested to know what others in the GTA feel about this. We will set up a site on the GTA pages for discussion for pe0ople who have an opinion. I don't think this is the place for GTA business.

For myself: people have paid money to become insiders, with acccess to this information. To distribute it otherwise seems to be a violation of the agreement that everyone has made.
