PANG over RAID=

Play, Affilation, Nurtance & Gratitude over Rejection, Aggression, Inferiority Avoidance, Defendance

SO, PANG away...

RAIDers will not be tolerated, so, no abuse, irrevelant spam, harrassment, etc.

However, sarcasm is a gift (as per Cheesehead) and is encouraged among friends. Caveat- If the gift of sarcasm is declined, then the gifter should refrain from regifting.

RAIDers will either receive a warning or instant removal from the network.

Overbooked reserves the right to remove members without notice or reason.

Heat Wave, by Richard Castle

If you are a mystery fan, and watch Castle on ABC TV, you may enjoy Heat Wave, by Richard Castle. I recommend both the book and the TV show. Nikki Heat is tough and dominant in the novel. Her TV character Kate Beckett is softer, and Richard Castle more often than not gets the best of her. Rook the reporter tag-along in the novel never wins unless Nikki allows it.

Part of the hype about the book is to guess who the ghostwriter is. My guess was Jayne Ann Krentz of the Arcane Soci… Continue

The cyberspace world and its denizens

I never realized how may sites there are for interacting with others. Who are these people (You for example) who people this world? Are they real or avatars? Do they think the things they say, or are they merely personae created for the occasion? They seem nice and intelligent, but perhaps they are computers programmed to interact with me. Does any of this matter? No, I'm having fun. So I wish you, whoever or whatever you may be a pleasant day; and if you are a real person, I wish you a great da… Continue
