It was also very confusing since 90% of the world thinks a democrat is
someone who believes in democracy rather than autocracy, tyrany or
someother unpleasant form of goverment. Which is why attacking democrats
doesn't go down well with people on the list who have suffered under
such non-democratic forms of goverment. It is necessary to remember that
not every one on the list is an american and will understand what is
said as common english and not with the special meaning it has to
americans
It reminds me of the passage in James Blish's novel about the flying
cities where a character poses the riddle "Which city has the same name
twice?", which is easy for americans but completely incomprehensible
outside the USA where city names are not joined with their

books other than keeping his agent happy. He is "planning" to write more

These statements are what he said at a convention a few years ago (during
which only one Garrett book has been published) and could well be be subject
to change.

I think I have all his stuff. I bought a copy of Sung in Blood from
Books-A-Million quite a few years ago, when they still could order it -
though it took months for them to find it - I bought most of the rest of his
stuff new, and a few of them used. I've gotten a number of his short stories
from ebay auction, I know there are a few periodicals which contain his work
which I don't have, but the toughest one, Sung In Blood, I do have.
