Hi Bruce,

We disagree in lots of ways but sure agree on the name change. I
think "bug spray" would be better than slanndroids. ;)

GW can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned. No problem with
what you call a "proper" list. I dropped EA a while back. Not
because the rules were bad but because of their rules on restricted
lists. Just not worth it to me since NetEpic is a great set of rules
and has an open approach (like Epic used to be). The prievious rules
invited the players to try things. It didn't say you "have to"
or "can't" do so much.

I am not sure but think the NetEpic necrons were before the Epic
ones. I am just an old fart but I am against removing them or even
changing them except point wise. Really I think the Exodus need more
work than the necrons but that (as all of what I said) is just my
opinion. I can't remember who said it but "expand the game, don't
restrict the players.

I agree that the necron points may be off but they fit perfectly the
Fluff (sorry GW may have started it but their constant changes and
neglect have removed me from the supporter list.) Actually I am
hoping that DRM will be good enough to replace 40k altogether. As
long as I can fit my armies in. If not, NetEpic is still here.

It is a big universe. Go for the list you want but please don't try
to kill off one that is here. That is just to GW. I like the Necron
name but not totally against a name change (something that doesn't
sound like it came from a B movie.) No offense to anyone. ;)
