I felt privileged to have been able to read the first part, and then to have done my worst, or best, to perhaps move the story from being purely a "Heinleinian" construction to one that includes traces of Eric Frank Russell and instead of straight 'Tuckerisms' what I suppose should be called "J Wards of merit." If I may be permitted to do so, let me quote a one line response I once received from our good Dr. Brin: AAARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Technically, the use of the word "from" in "aliens kidnap 3,000 kids from a Californian high school." is a misnomer. By way of including his name in the title, I invite our good Dr. to make the correction which, I think, might increase other list members interest in the story. And by way of including a dog with long hair, personally I'd like to see one unfinished time travel short story added to the list. The absolute bottom of the list, IMHO, but still there. Something to turn to if our good Dr ever gets a case of writer's blocker and just wants to hoss around. William Taylor ---------------------- 1AM sleep deprivation. Change to "Br!n" for list responses. ---text truncated because our good Dr. seems to use a server with shorter lines than AOL _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
