[Elfsea] Ok, lets talk about Defender and Springfaire

[Brandy]

I remember Defenders when the focus was the heavy list.  Even the light
fighters didn't fight until Sunday morning when everyone else was packing to
go home, and everything else was just there.  Don't ever forget how far
we've come.  We still have some room for improvement, but things are much
better than they used to be.
