Well, given how my posts, which explained why I wouldn't necessarily take Computer on some of my character builds, was in reply to someone else noting they always take Computer... Yeah, I already noted not everyone shares the opinion of not taking a few ranks Computer on a Street sam.
After all, that's what sparked the discussion in the first place.
Anyway, I'm just noting that from my own perspective, I wouldn't contribute much with it so I'd instead take something that increases my tactical options or plays into an attribute I have on a decent level. At 5 Charisma taking a single point of Negotiation or Intimidation would be better, or driving at 8 Reaction, or Lockpicking and Throwing Weapons at 9 Agility, so if I have to leave out a low-rank skill, it'd be something working on that 2 Logic.
Yes, flavour and teamwork tests are valid arguments, but I think there's better ways for me personally to contribute to a group. Nothing wrong with other people making a different call, which is why I used a casual shrug rather than trying to logically debunk the argument. But I rather like having a weakness or two on my Street Samurai, with a complete lack of knowledge on how to properly search for info in the matrix and having to call up my contacts or depend on the Decker for all intel. It's something that's fun to play out as well.
Anyway, ZeConster, I already had a private convo with him and we both read rudeness into statements where none was intended, so it's all good.
It's just the language barrier playing up.
