OK, the fb in my username does stand for fan boy, but ...
That is SO good to hear.
Starting way back with the RQ, it seemed like every new version had to
start at point zero and work forward. I've always enjoyed the new
stuff - every new iteration expanded what had been done before and put
out really good material, but there was such a delay. All the basics
had to be re-established first.
The HQ/HW material from Issaries and Unspoken Word has been really top
notch. I'm very glad this announcement doesn't mean an exteneded wait
for more of it to come out.
I'll stop gushing now ...
