Definitely David,

Good discussion this. Helped me get a better grip on some things. Also nobody needs to worry about me and gamesystems. I'll use the HQ2 material as I use every other Glorantha resource, to get a feel for the sorts of things that happen on Glorantha (narrativist would say "the stories" I suppose I say "the feel / logic of the world").

Just like mr. Dunham I can use any system I'm comfortable with to run games set in Glorantha, and will continue to do so.

Oh, and one thing I've meant to say. There's apparently a finnish games developer making boardgames who was inspired by King of Dragon Pass. I felt really good about writing a big article about that gem of a game when I heard that, and I'm sure David Dunham and his crew will appreciate it too :)
