Still deleting my replies to warp the record, Captain Avatar? tsk, tsk.

Your last post has been deleted by me.

I would kindly but urgently request to change your behaviour in this forum !!!

If you can obtain a committment from Misfit not to stretch my threads and a committment from Captain Avatar to stop deleting my threads, then that is doable by me as well. If nobody stretches threads on me, I have no cause to stretch threads on them.

It's now about 19:30 UTC. I'll stop for 4 hours, to give you time to obtain those committments.

There will be no committment to any agreement with a forum terrorist...Just leave in peace.


Again holding the cafe hostage because you want it as your personal playground is not going to work Beets. We dont negotiate with with People like you. Just go away find another forum to terrorize

I never read any of the other Dune books because the first one was so good I felt sure the other's would be a disappointment. I couldn't bring my self to read them.

@Misfit: I did read all the dragonlance series when I was a teenager.. I probably still have them all somewhere. They were good fun.

You didn't miss anything. They could have been called Coronation Street in a Space Desert or All My Children in a Space Desert and it would have been the same thing.

Cordially,

today i heard carl sagan had a son, who has written a sci-fi trilogy - just wondering if anyone has read them - if so what did you think? apparently he also wrote a screenplay for a great short sci-fi book 'ender's game', but as far as i know it's never been made. anyone know anything about that?

Now that's a shame. It's an excellent novel and would make a really good movie.

i guess my post was equally vague - i realize orson scott card is the author of the ender series, and not carl sagan's son. someone said nick sagan had written the original screen play for 'ender's game' but from the link u provided it's obvious that adaptation as well as several others have 'gone out the window' - hence the 'development hell' status.

and yes i agree, es99, it is an excellent novel - whether it makes an excellent movie - or a movie of any kind remains to be seen.

has anyone read nick sagan's novels?
