Give the Doc some credit for having a rich imagination. There is no need for him to become a graverobber in a process that I would imagine could be creatively restricting. Leave that kind of stuff to the hacks (and there are plenty enough). I'm not much for fannish stuff, but what I would consider to be fun would be a thread where we make up punnish chapter titles a la Kiln People. I think that Kiln People is right up there with the best the Doc has produced. Crafted man, crafted! xponent Crafty Maru rob wait a minute something's wrong he's a man with a plan his finger is pointed at Brin-L now we must sacrifice ourselves that many others may live ok we've got a lot to give _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
