I'm glad you have the honesty to say everyone, you certainly arnt
contributing any.

.....or even
>calculate anything tangible and informative

Not sure what you mean by this, I've heard several people say that they've
had significantly fewer resists after making a character with a higher chr
than a prior one with a lower chr. To me, this is far more 'tangible and
informative' than saying that Stratics says something, ergo it must be true.

Of couse, arguing is fun. =)

>wrong or has falsified information I will continue to read their site and
>take it to heart

Firstly, I never even suggested that Stratics falsified information. I've
talked with eqss people in the chat rooms in beta, and grouped with one
early in retail. They're good, honest people. However, they are *not*
perfect. You want an example of wrong info on the sight? Okie dokie. If
you look under thier class reference chart, you'll see that barbarians are
large sized creatures, and it will say that, for example, high elves are
small/medium. Now, the thing is, barbarians are capable of wearing medium
armor too. The simple fact is, Verant has not released a great deal of the
'number crunching' information, so I'm likely to at least pay attention to
someone who comes up with new information rather than dismissing it out of
hand do to its not being known beforehand. *All* the information that is
once stratics was once this way.

......and by the by.......MANY of the authors of EQ are

I'll admit befuddlement as to what you mean when you say "many of the
authors of EQ are directly involved with EQ...". I assume you mean that the
authors of EQSS or perhaps EQVault there rather than EQ. I'm quite certain
that the authors of EQ are involved with the GMs. ;) However, neing friends
with the admins of CoN, I can assure you that GMs do *not* give out specific
number crunching values to anyone. Seriously, how do you mean that they are
involved?
