Though it makes sense to do it that way, not everyone is going to. It
would be easier if we were able to have a database generate pages for the
OMR, then we could easily do both. But when you know a set is an M:Tron
set, why not go to the M:Tron section on the OMR?
Still, you make a valid point and I'm sure quite a few others will do it
that way. But we can't make it a blanket decision for everyone.
