Thanks for the encouragement, lol. No, I actually felt a little bad about posting since I felt like I was slowly chiseling away at Hoover Dam. I know this is fiction but someone once said we are stewards of popular culture and I agree with that (a comic book editor). I was just giving my own hopefully, well taken

criticism on the situation.
I would like to offer a different spin however, death is a major turn-
off. That would lead to an instant betrayal in my view, and well I've said enough about that. I'm certainly not trying to Stop the Presses here, as everyone is entitled to their own interpretation.
Again, thank you, and I hope I helped.
I have a different approach to writing, which may be more boring, but I am looking forward with err, dread to the next installment.
(Wow, no flame wars! Hurray!!)
