I don't know exactly what this type of energy discussion is based
upon.. But, i know that though Radiation is perhaps the best power to
be used. That i find it very scary, and just not safe around human
beings.. I have to let you know how i feel about this.. Since, i think
being a human really sucks.. And that, no matter what you do in life,
yo always find another object that has the ability to kill you, or to
kill someone else.. I mean, you can even die by accidently dropping off
your roof, or getting into an accident with a car.. I mean, human
bodies stink, they are so weak, and just don't see that Radiation would
be a very safe and respectable source of energy of the future. I
think, pretty soon we must find a more safre energy structure, that has
the less tendancy to kill us.

Of course there is, but my point is this: many a person has lifted
something without meaning to, after being exposed only once. Such borrowing
cannot be said to be "ripping off" or "stealing from" the original. I
think we all know the difference between "committing plagiarism" and "being
influenced".

Neither do I, but I do believe that it is possible that his own work
has been inspired by someone else's work. It only makes sense, after all,
and only a fool would ever suggest otherwise.

I have to tell you of a conversation I had with Pat Cadigan once. I was
telling her about a novel I was in the process of writing when suddenly she
interrupted me and asked me if I'd read her novel Mindplayers. (I hadn't.)
It turns out that my novel and hers had the same plot line, and even shared
some details.

Funny thing is, it doesn't show up in _Danse_ _Macabre_. I guess Steven's
managaed to keep his personal feelings out of his writings, which isn't as easy
as it sounds, going by the flak we're seeing.

I am sorry to say that Dk is absolutly right. My sources are 200 movie books,
and I have looked through them and they all agree about one thing the directer
of "They Saved Hitler's Brain" also released as "Madman of Mandoras" and
"The Return of Mr. H." was directed by David Bradley (which, by the way, was
his first and last feature film). The film was made in 1964 at that time Mr.
Kubrick
was busy making "Dr. Strangelove".

Good. Vir is Minbar-bound. I really like Vir, and would like to see more
of him. However, I'd rather see him out of harm's way for now. Of course,
Vir is don't going to be where he needs to be to help Londo crawl up out
of the hole he's gotten himself into.
Now if some kindly ranger would like to take Vir in, then he would be set.
Of course, I've already gone into the problems that I think he would have
in that (on this echo or the B5 echo). To sum up, Vir is a member of the
"hated" race, the Centauri. He is also the ex-aide-de-campe of Londo
"Shadow-bringer" Mollari. Vir will have much 'splainin' to do.
Hey, maybe we'll get to see more of Vir in the B5 comic (boy am I behind in
reading those).

Hi Nancy !
----------
I noticed your interest in the Highlander series
as well as the movies, and since I'm unable to
attend your "gathering" ( I live in Europe ) I
wanted to ask you about these T-shirts...
There isn't any to get around these parts, so I
just wanted to ask if maybe I could buy one or two
by mail?

Space Rangers suffered from being a little sloppy, a little loud, and
