ALthough cliche by now, I second the motion.  I for
one prefer Allen having two accounts, as it makes it
REAL easy to tell where the official word is coming
from, just scan the "From" field.  Unlike other forums
I have read and since STOPPED reading because of
moderator neigh-abuse, I've never EVER had a problem
here.  Heck, even my Marshall Black didn't get any
moderator backlash when he posted his rather venoment
views on the D20 system.  

And on a personal note for Allen, I just have to
respect anyone cool enough to get a Gaming Guardians
guest shot....  :-)
