I quote the bottom of each issue of the digest:

What this means to me is that UNLESS specified otherwise, everything on this digest is assumed to be pure invention, with absolutely no claim to Staffordian provenance whatsoever. Since most of the participants have no access to fabled RQ2 products such as the Cradle Scenario, let alone the ear of Stafford himself, this is only as it should be.

Since the default behavior on this digest is to make stuff up it's considered redundant to ask posters to warn us when they make stuff up, and instead we ask posters to warn us when they use authoritative sources. Please, Steve, could you warn us when you intend to use an authoritative source, since we're not expecting it? ;)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Loren
