Well I'm sure this vindication from you will help Rao sleep better at night, Spiff.
:oops: My comment was intended as a preface to my own opinion, not as a commentary on anyone else's. My apologies for pre-blathering...
Now, if Rao didn't want comments on his choices of story, he wouldn't have created a forum -- or, at least, that's what logic tells me.
I agree with you, I certainly do like to offer my opinions!
I think life, like a good story, needs a certain amount of conflict to make it interesting, and to stir the blood.
OK, I'll oblige you on this. I think my avatar's cooler than yours. :wink:
