<<Good day to all!  Slow posting from my end lately due to rabid need for income...but that's just
life in the reality lane and therefore irritating in extremis!

Anyway, I've been meaning to mention for a while that another group of readers who dedicate
themselves to books they choose based on avoirdupois plus consensus (Big Fat Books) are about to
begin reading M&D.  The tone these people use to discuss their reading is so wildly different from
the tone here, I thought you might enjoy a sample.

On the whole the BFB group seems to be more composed of people than does this group, one I find more
entity based.  They also seem...um, what's the word in English?...nicer.  But way less incisively
cleverly bizarre!>>

You know, I'd join that mailing list in a second if I wasn't so affraid of getting even more spam
than I already do.
