Damien(master of gentle persuasion writes):
I'll only forgive you, Dan, if you buy a copy of the paperback as a Xmas
present for EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY (special
dispensation for any who won't learn to read prior to the Singularity).

That goes for the rest of you, too. The link is at Barbara Lamar's
SPIKE
site, http://www.panterraweb.com/the_spike.htm

And if you don't, I'll come round and tear your bloody arms off!

Damien, I remember when you yelled at me for saying I would set up a table at Extro-5 to promote "The Spike"! And now how do YOU act?? ; ) Of course it is your perogative to act as silly or menacing as you like since you are a published author of repute. You could walk down the streets of Melbourne at night naked as a jaybird singing beerhall songs at the top of your lungs, and the people of Australia would still love you. This is a standard right of established writers(at least in some countries).

Anyway, at Extro-6 my table is going up!! And I will be doing my best impression of Crocodile Dundee as I push your books, because we know how much Americans just love all things Australian.

best wishes,

John : )

P.S. I plan to master english grammar postsingularity! And also learn the higher forms of mathematics! Possibly even marry the right gal!
