Hey, Doug, I don't know about anyone else. But I seem to see time-delayed
duplicates of your messages a lot lately. Have you fallen out of phase with
the space-time continuum?

Subject: Re: [Open_Gaming] Dunandralis problems (eep!)
One solution to this could be to handle every submission as a seperate work,
y'know... but for the moment, I *think* we're in almost the exact same boat
as the other fansites.

Note to self: Don't place Dunandralis FAQ under OGL.

I'm not the owner... we're an all-volunteer bit. I'm just one of the folk
in charge. (Me an' Maggie and what, three others?)

But that doesn't cover the interal company disucssion--in the halls of
A_D20_game inc, they can say "D&D" and "D20" as much as they want, right?
I'd argue that Dunandralis-l, where *ALL* of our discussion takes place, is
like that.

Faust, you are making me SO glad I didn't chose an IP career choice.
'course, going for Law probably isn't much better...
