   IF it's true, it will mean that we'll no longer be subject to Gygax's
torture of English grammar, his smarmy "Gentle Readers," "Kindly Editor"
writing style, his use of long, obscure words that don't really mean what
he thinks they mean, and his endless tinkering with the AD&D game.
   Oh, did I forget to mention his superior attitude and unbelievable tirades
against his competition?
