I've explained my point of view to many people personally (I don't like
meta-discussions on a list for silly reasons of my own) but I am getting
tired of repeating myself.

1) Cyberpunk is based on science fiction.
2) Shadow Run is based on fantasy.
3) The premise of SF is to take the existing world and modify one (or one
   small group of) variable(s) that are possible outgrowths of current
   science. 
4) Fantasy is purly based on imagination with some discernable mapping to
   earth/humanoid based evolution of ideas and world.
5) Cyberpunk's theme is "dark future" of our world.
6) Shadow Run's theme is "dark times" in some world.
7) I have played both.
8) This list is for Cyberpunk discussion.
9) Technology in Shadow Run seem to have some mapping to the Cyber
   time-frame, so questions about that frame from/for Shadow Run _as long
   as they stick to the SF and not the F portions_ are _in my opinion_
   acceptable, but that is the limit.
10)Shadow Run is currently being discussed elsewhere, and if/when I read
   about it, I read about it there.

If you have a problem, write to me personally.  I have written to most of
you, but the same things keep croping up.

If you want to flame me, Jack-off, my deck has more personality than you
do. --
