Your site here, with its absurd richness of careful and often net-unique content, so obviously deserves 100-comment interchanges , both from the choir.. and from the chorus of 'skeptical of skeptics'(?) <br />I'm certain that your full-schedule of obligations kinda rules out spending nights answering 'likes'. In any case, nice to note, this time, that you do have a spare moment, Gordon.

I read the first book with great interest. Already quite familiar with 'different realities, I remember wondering how he could have had his head blown off and then add a coherent timeline, etc at the end of the book. I did read enough of the sequels, inherited from a friend's library, to feel, (alone in my opinion at the time) that the BS meter here was close to off-scale. <br />Always great to see how our instincts run in parallel... and on just about every topic you mention here. 'Spooky action at a distance' as I recall jokingly calling it to you a decade ago. jsolberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841488269105958013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307187040250193857.post-9471770744580862682017-04-17T08:17:04.590-07:002017-04-17T08:17:04.590-07:00We read all.
