I dunno. Did it ever occur to you to get me on the blower to talk about the Samurai Errata? I am the non-secret member of the Samurai.
Or would going to the source have been too journalistic for a podcast?
Actually, no, we didn't think of inviting you Joe! Actually, I believe a review of the Samurai Errata strictly from a third-party is best. You're welcome to send any audio comments of our review to play on a subsequent podcast. We'll definitely keep you in mind as a guest for future podcasts--look for an email from Ross or myself!
