Was Re: Spam? Now Tweety Hosts.

I was initially alarmed at the prospect of a chapter a day (I'll be
away/busy for a fair bit of the period) but then Laura makes a point,
since I often lost interest in the IV read because there just wasn't
enough going on in each chapter to warrant such close analysis. And BE
is richer, but it's not GR. Thinking of it as seven chapters a week
makes it seem quite doable, allowing for catch-ups. Hell, I read the
whole thing in 3 or 4 days at a reasonably leisurely pace.
