I'm not sure what you're getting at, Tom.
Heh, I was just getting a kick out of re-posting an interesting link I
stumbled on to what had I think has been the longest off-topic,
somewhat random, flame-filled, yet still kind interesting and worth
reading thread I can remember seeing anywhere. Seems I sparked a bit
more than I expected in this last round.
Even learned a few things myself. (Like, Crichton seems to not
properly check his facts before public talks, seriously downgrade as
future possible source of information. Too bad.)
And heck, as long as I'm posting links found on SF authors' websites,
talk a look at David Brin's
Eye of the Needle Foundation
idea. Talli, with your focus on non-prophets you might find that very
interesting, actually. I thought it was the most inspiringly
optimistic thing I'd read in quite a while, myself.
