Thanks for all the kind words! (Sorry I was away, family crisis.)

Funny, I often think the same thing about my politicians. The best thing you can say about them is, they make great fodder for
The Daily Show. What is wrong with politicians these days?!?
Jorgen, I agree with you... there are some editors out there that are clearly getting paid by the word, judging by the length of novels that are being released. I recently read one (whose title I will tactfully not divulge) that likewise seemed about twice as long as it needed to be. Mind you, I was raised on the books of Clarke and Bradbury, wherein less than 200 pages was perfectly acceptable... not to mention pulps like Doc Savage, which never broke 120 pages when Lester Dent was writing them. So a story clearly doesn't have to be long to be good.
