And we can debate that, and give reasons why. I have, and even if I'm  
mistaken, I think my reasons are solid.

Probably.

Well, in a couple of years we might be able to discuss Eric's game  
(i.e. Torg 2.0). That'll be different, as it will possibly more  
different from OTorg as anything I've done.

Don't get me wrong, that wasn't a slap against Dave. Frankly, I miss  
him. He was very knowledgeable, and could be counted on to ride  
roughshod over any ideas he disagreed with. If he hated your idea,  
and it withstood his arguments, that meant it was probably a pretty  
solid idea. Having a critic like that is very valuable.
