Haven't see you on as much lately...been writing?

I've been on as much as usual; sometimes I have more to say,
sometimes even *I* get tired of my own "voice" after a while, and
figure everyone else must as well.

Weird question: what software are you using?
When I try to call up 100+ page files, Word for Windows
gives me error messages.
It might be the computer, or the software.
(And my novel is at 75--I have to figure out something
fast.)
<back on topic>
I can't write emotional stuff myself without a box of
Kleenex nearby.
I'll go through it emotionlessly as soon as I figure out
how it's done!

I use Movie Master for my scripts, Wordstar 7.0 for prose. None
of the files are very big individually, only en masse.

Joe
I've seen messages where you explained what your position is
on the Death Penalty versus Life Imprisonment. I was wondering, if
the technology of Mindwiping was available, would you be in favour
of it?

I actually don't know how I'd stand on that...to render the
argument correctly in the show, I've had to "convince" myself on both
sides of the issue. When it happens for real, I'll have an opinion.

Yes, but *you* hear your voice all day.
We don't.
And we like to debate about what you said last.
BTW...did "Messages From Earth" come out as well as you
thought it would?

Not only did "Messages From Earth" come out as well as I'd hoped
or thought it would, it came out *better*. It is, potentially, either
one of the best or the best thing we've ever done in the whole series
to date. There are some episodes that come close this season, like
"Point of No Return," "A Late Delivery From Avalon," "Sic Transit Vir"
(for absolutely different reasons), and parts of "Dust to Dust," but so
far -- at least until the CGI for "Severed Dreams" is finished, which
has at least a shot at knocking "Messages" out of the box -- "Messages"
is as close to perfect as we've ever come.
Like "The Coming of Shadows" there's a real sense of a *story*
being told, and major events happening at breakneck speed. It's just a
joy to watch.
