Keeps this list on track. Lets you cross more stuff off the to-do list. Lets people who want to argue about rules or how to resolve differences in interpretations argue elsewhere.
Adding and removing footnotes is much more of a chore than errata, so it's best to discuss such things on-list before making such changes and updating the WHOLE book in the test area, as opposed to just a handful of sections with typographical amendments.
Anyway, no discussion on the list is off-topic if it's related to the series; I just didn't expect the Mentora +2 Grand Weaponmastery bonus to be so contentious! Best to concentrate on more grammatical issues for another couple of weeks and only then return to game/gameplay/rules issues, I think. It also helps to keep things focused, since points of grammar can get lost amidst a slew of legitimate comments regarding a gameplay bug.
Just FYI, I have the following lists planned and drafted: Week 9: Ad-Hoc (Part II) -- sing. vs. pl. Week 10: Ad-Hoc (Part III) -- various grammatical points Week 11: Book 14 remaining issues Week 12: Footnote Frenzy! (Part I) Week 13: Footnote Frenzy! (Part II)Weeks 12 and 13 are planned to cover ALL remaining footnote proposals for Books 1-25. Week 13 will also cover all remaining Giak issues.
If all goes to plan, even assuming a steady trickle of extra issues being reported in the meantime, we should be below 30 remaining issues by the time Week 14 rolls around, and we can take stock from there (though I'd recommend continuing until we have crushed every last one of them!).
