I simply disagree that this is a stupid ruling. How is simply continuing the game from where it left off stupid? I really just don't understand your objection to this.

Scrapper1:

The game was played for many many years before with no ill effect with POI and AP. I am not against progress, far from it. I just do not believe in making changes just to make changes or making changes without actually analyzing how those changes affect the entire game. The only thing that has changed about the game in the last 50 years is the skill and size of players. The game today could be played under rules that were in place 50 years ago and it would be just as enjoyable now as it was then.
