- Now really, Joshua! I thought Robinton went out exactly the way he
- would have preferred. To have him and AIVAS (which had become a virtual
- god in some eyes) go between at the same time was appropriate and
- fitting. Robinton was not young at the time of DragonFlight - so how
- old must he have been in ATWoP? I admit that I, like Menolly and Jaxom,
- couldn't see Pern without him, but... it *is* life isn't it!
-
- *That* is what makes Pern so great. The *people* are *real*. they are
- human, they have human hopes and needs, human faults and skills.
-
- I don't know about you, but even without Robinton, even without thread,
- I'd still like Anne to tell us what happened to Jaxom and Menolly and
- everyone else...
