1). I'd love to see some hard proof that BADD caused the roleplaying
industry serious financial loss.

2). I'd love to see some hard proof that the D20 industry is about to crest
and fall, taking the rest of the industry with it.

3). Sure it can be dismissed as insignificant insofar as nothing's happened.
When something happens beyond a few local yabbos getting their jerk on, I'll
be more concerned.
