Actually, yes, you did approve of my idea. You said it
was very much in keeping with the RC's concepts. (You
also said you doubted GDW would be able to use it, though.
This was when you all were shutting down at that point...)
Since Traveller was always one of my favorite settings,
it was very painful (if you'll permit me to say) for me
to watch GDW fall. I'm glad, now, so many years later,
to have the chance to catch up with you. ;-) And I'm
certain I'm not alone in either regard. :-)
I'm glad you had a good experience with me. I'd like to think everyone
did, but I'm also a realist. :-)

Of course, I will absolutely permit you to say that (not like you need my
permission; if it's true it's true, but thank you for asking). I don't
think this is a secret from anyone, that it was intensely painful for me
to watch it fall, and to in effect be the last Jenga block. To belabor the
point as I am wont to do, it has been a lengthy process for me to get
over/around/through/past it, partially because for the first few years I
moved into a different world where I didn't get to deal with it. But I
think that shared grief (that sounds like too strong a word? Who cares,
it's technically correct) is one of the graces we can receive, even after
so long a time. So I appreciate your saying that, it is meaningful to me.
Like you, I am also grateful to get a chance to play our coda* together
here (you personally as well as with the larger group). It means
something.
And lest that sound like something completely over-and-done with, as this
group shows, TNE is not "over." There's still some life in the old girl.
