Oh, yeah, there are plenty of us from before the change, and glad
I am. I was just mentioning the ones that still play 2nd edition,
but stayed on the list. We didn't change this to an Epic40K only list
(it is still called the space-marine list, after all), so it is a shame
that we lost so many.

I think I remember the guy you mentioned. I think he is the one I
was wondering whether he was really Julian ("cast your minis into the
warp" GW employee) with a different account.
