You've offered us a surprisingly hopeful look at LnC's future. Utopia seems to have taken the express to get there so quickly!
I do like your writing, but I am Dictator-for-Life of the anti-Herb club and I'm afraid I simply cannot read a story where Wells plays a starring role. Unless, of course, he is universally panned and insulted along the way.

Chris Carr's Joe Slabotnik story fits the bill nicely there!
So I'll just welcome you as a writer for the boards and urge you to really really quickly write something else. Without Herb.

Because from your writing, I know I'd really enjoy it.
