Sheesh, first the "Coverup" take-back and now tis one in the same week. And I read James's message three times to make sure I knew what I responding to. I wrote: > The distinguished James Hazelton wrote: >> People on this list seem to be forgetting that [you can pick up the >> pieces and look] when it comes to >> opaques, but it is a vital concept when playing Volcano with 5 shashes >> of Treehouse and Volcano caps. > Vital?

Not a big (vital) deal. Oh, I see... James was saying that the ability to disassemble a stack is vital to playing Volcano with Treehouse pieces. I thought he was saying that it's the opacity (or lack thereof) that's vital. Ok, we're on the same page now. I'm going to curl up in a corner now. Ryan
