Ya know, it is possible that 2 different animals are being discussed here.
 Was there ever a "followup" to the V3 vintage Warp unleashed planned?? I
mean one that was "different" than the V4 vintage Warp Unleashed??
The thing is,, I have no reason to "disbelieve" anyone who has posted in
this thread. All parties involved have certain "credentials" that make
them generally reliable sources, so, I am thinking there is a "book
version mismatch" going on here. What's the chances of that?
