Simon: "I will be posting my comments on The Amber Spyglass later, have to
"write them first!"
Ben: "Should I read this? As I've nearly run out of new books and don't want
to start 'almost like a whale' yet, not feeling like launching into
Darwinism."

Read the first two in the series, but do not bother with the third. It is
not as good, as I will explain in my message later.


Ben: "Maybe the 'Dilbert lives' quote was less controversial."

I cycle through various different ones and that is just one possibility.
Anyway it is there as it is part of this places crest thing. As you
undoubtedly know.


Ben: "Ps. It is impossible to go off-topic on this list isn't it? Whoever
thought of it is therefore wonderful, but has left themselves open to the
random wanderings of my mind.
Pps. Actually Harry Potter is off-topic, by definition."

An interesting point. Basically it is a place for Harry Potter fans (and
probably the adult ones) to come together and discuss things. Hence meaning
that the main list becomes very much dedicated to the topic of Harry Potter
and removes OT stuff to here.


Finally, Simon Said: "Ben - I'll reply to your e-mail soon"
Ben: "I wonder which one.  The poor boy is subjected to so many.  Pity him."

The long and thought provoking one. It is also holding back answering of any
others.
