I'd guess he's ok with it.

Yes. Well, I hope you guys are right (and I suspect you are). I just think Burke has a huge influence on this whole thing and I don't want to see Paul Byron thrown away simply because he's small. I do understand that Treliving is the GM and he may have a different philosophy than Burke, but I will not discount the effect that a huge personality like Burke could have.
