I'm reminded of the books Parnassus on Wheels and The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley, about a bookstore owner who had unkind things to say about Edgar Rice Burroughs (whose work is now considered "classic" science fiction). I sometimes wonder what that bookstore owner would think of the Internet. He'd probably be extremely ambivalent about it--happy that it provided free, instant access to all his beloved classics of literature, and horrified at everything else. :) -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody help, Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | I'm trapped in [email protected] | Skype, Gizmo: Robotech_Master | a sig file!
