Yupp,
it could have.

But actually, what would have been the point of Gerri's post if it really would have meant only unit-crew? The rules already disallow Unit-Crew, so why re-enforce this by chiming into a thread? Especially in a thread on Location-crew?

Who knows?  I don't like making assumptions.

But this is beginning to spin in circles again ... Nothing I could say or do to make you change your mind.

I don't see any new perspectives coming up and am out of this thread.

Change my mind on what?  I don't have a horse in this race, in fact I voted Neutral at the time because I wasn't sure.  From Gerri's post I do think she was saying No to location crew as well, I can't be 100%.  I also don't believe you are looking for other perspectives, you seem to have made up your mind.

And I personally agree with you... but there was a lot of posts afterwards that showed that not all understand it the same way... and the fact that she only mentions Unit Crew (not location Crew) and the fact that she asked if she was missing something don't help that either... so while I agree with you I can see how some would not see it the same way. So I personally think the really get a definitive ruling further clarification is needed to make it so it is undeniable.

You are correct, there will always be two camps who will each do what they are going to do...as the poll illustrates.  That being the case, there really isn't any point in rehashing all of this.

I myself use to contribute Location crews, but since I was pointed to the thread where Gerri's post was, I have quit contributing them and have removed them from online profiles, but I keep them in my local.

It is another example of a post from Ken or Gerri that is vague and can be interpreted differently by both sides (those that want and those who do not).

The other question.

There is nothing in the rules (AFAIK), concerning "Restoration Crew" or any of the other special crews dedicated for a special release.

Since these typically fall outside of the normal crew listing, and can be classed as a unit (just like a location crew), then why should these also be included.

Or the other.  What if the crew is completely divided.  And nearly all crew are listed under heading of "USA" Unit or "Main" Unit or any other conceivable naming convention.  (Babel or Peacemaker for instance)

Ken needs to chime in.  I am not looking for a 1 off decision for any 1 title.

[obvious sarcasm]Wow, very surprised Ken never bothered to comment on this.... [/obvious sarcasm]
