I thought I'd read every Frank Herbert book years ago (pre-internet). I have since that time looked up many authors and finished their full bibliography, but somehow Herbert escaped me. Thank you very much! The Hunt Begins!

There lives within me a small and twisted person who is happy to see the myth of the "Brown Note" return. Matryoshka style, theres a smaller and more twisted person within the first that wishes someone's finally figured it out. Perhaps if Theremin were still alive?

It's funny you say that, as it had just crossed my mind that I've always been a very voracious consumer of the posts here, yet I seem to have little to say. My theory is that it has something to do with my work. I'm a crane operator at a trash to steam plant. I work shift work and a great deal of overtime. When I'm caught up on feeding boilers I have the occasional short stretch where I can pause and read something. Writing this has taken 7 of those short breaks. It takes a great deal more time and energy to produce than to consume. I'm taking yet one more short break to read this over in it's entirety and make sure I haven't repeated myself again ;-)

I have signed up just to endorse this. I've been lurking for entirely too long, and as a random browser I've been assaulted with entirely too much spam, yet knowing that those who are signed in see none of it. I was lucky to run across hubski through some random link or else I'd never know that there are many intelligent and creative people here. The face hubski shows the public is definitely marred with spam the insiders cannot see. Edited to complain that entirely was entirely used too much. Entirely.
