From: "pugh jon%e.mfenet"@LLL-MFE.ARPA First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Tucker for doing that which we, as human beings, do so much better than any creature on this planet. Trying to start an argument is such a human thing that I would worry if it were not present everywhere I look. I have nothing to add, really, to his arguments and certainly will not endeavor to counter them. After all, I don't care if he doesn't like all the short stories he reads. Heavens, I don't like all the ones I read. Some are sownright weird, but well done (like _Venice Drowned_) while others should be used in the bathroom (although at least they get paid for their verbosity Mr. Tucker). And then there are the really good stories (I nominate _The Morphology of the Kirkham Wreak_ again, read it!). As with all things, we must take the good with the bad. There really is NO way to generate only good, because this world is full of trite little beings who all like different things. Power to them, I say. I know what I like and I shall keep looking for it. I recommend you do the same (that was a BIG "you" by the way). And let me remind all those that have been getting irate at Mr. Tucker about two things: 1) You are getting this free. 2) All that exists is atoms and empty space. Everything else is opinion. Oh yeah, I want to nominate the last piece of _V: The Final Battle_ for the stupidest pull some special effects out of a hat for the grand finale ending ever in the history of anything I have ever seen. Yuckola! Whoever did that should be shot, or made to watch the series over and over again. Heck, s/he'd probably enjoy it. Sorry about the flames, but everyone who wants a chance, gets one. (FREEdom, that is one of our worship words!) Jon Pugh pugh%e@lll-mfe.arpa
