Yah know, in The Dragon there was for several years an add for a game
(which name slips my mind right now) with a big, ugly looking critter and
the caption:

"No Elves. . ."

My thought at the time was "why would anyone want to play in a fantasy
game with no elves?????" . . .I'm begining to see the point. . .

(Porphyrogenetus; who has probably played 10 times more Elven characters
than all other races put together in is gaming "career", but is
reconsidering.)
