Yes, but the main reason they were kewl was that in the old days you got
those nice hard cards, but printer paper and durability do NOT go hand in
hand....sorry mate :)

Yeah, you are right. I most respectfully withdraw my critic

Yeah. This is about right. Or give them their own organisation.

I see that the techguard is out.....I owuld like to see some adeptus
