Some people have asked what these discussions are doing on ASSTR. The answer - Because I wrote all those other stories so you can have fun. This page is my turn. This is my 'payment' for the hours and hours spent writing for your entertainment. So, please enjoy my serious thoughts.
If you like or hate these discussions please drop me a line. I am especially interested if you see flaws in the arguments. I'm always looking to improve them. I answer all feedback. If you don't hear from me you probably typed your e-mail address in wrong or your email is set up only to accept mail from friends... Please try again because I really did try to respond!
