[MR] Fwd: [Fwd: [marinus] FW: Proposed armor change (SCA wide)]

[Peters, Rise J.]

If I wanted to submit a comment along the lines of "as a scout, I think this is a terrible idea," to whom would it go?  Or are they just looking for people to tinker with wording at this point (does the fundamental concept have unstoppable inertia already)?
