practice is that if a newsgroup actually replies to you then you will
post this sort of thing in that group forever - is that true? If so,

I'm probably the only one here not to have heard it before, (assuming
that sort of thing is up your asteroid,) but I thought it very good
overall. There were a few things that didn't seem to fit, but the
twist at the end might sort them out on a second hearing.
Thank you Mr follett.
PS, Couldn't get into that o ...

I've read several books on this outrage over the years, but I've never
