Duncan,
I doubt many have played Bude. Therefore, they don't have much to contribute. Others, perhaps are too doubtful of their conclusions to allow a light to be shown upon them. Ryan had an opportunity to engage, but instead expressed disdain. Since he did not follow through, perhaps he has not played Bude.
I have one message expressing thanks and the desire to play Bude in the future.
