	Ahem. I do believe if it comes down to your posse living or not 
living, I wouldn't get so upset about them correcting you, i mean, it makes 
you a better GM if you knoiw more about the game. and let's all remember that 
it's a roleplaying GAME and games are meant to be fun, not to kill off your 
posse.
