Yep hence my point about applying the +2 mentioned in the listing for staff skill to all weapons listed in staff skill (except that those with U, as per the Kromm Klarification you cited)?

You intimated that this is correct (and that you do so), I pointed out that that would mean adding +2 to al those with +2 in their listings, hence +4.

As I said in my first post on this, that is indeed double dipping.

I said to add it to all such skills, not to add it twice. The +2 listed in the Staff-skill part of the weapon table is the same instance of the bonus as the +2 added by the skill. It's a case of a specific rule restating a general rule, doing the same thing.
Perhaps we misunderstood each other's wordings, resulting in the double-dip misinterpretation between us.

Quite likely!
