Yeah, I got the message! <VBG> As for the Sci Fi thread, I did check it out. However, I wandered into the genre because of a few authors whose work struck me because of the writing skills. A lot of it bores me senseless as well. Have a great day!

<<<I checked it out (despite my personal disinterest in the genre),>>> Er... Joan. You have just declared a distinct lack of impartiality where the genre is concerned; so I do believe you mean uninterest. I beg of you not to tarnish your reputation as a 'snob' by attempting to defend this most shocking lapse by pointing out that 'disinterest' has now, unfortunately in my view, obtained, in Fowler, a third definition: 'unconcerned;' this definition being described, however, as 'controversial.' hehehe
