- Bill, I read the Tolkien group for intelligent dicussion of his works, and the
- Eddings group for the same ; I don't read them for flame wars on the relative
- quality of the others texts.
-
- I'm a a big fan of _both_ these authors works. If you want to 'discuss' the
- merits of Eddings works, I'd be only too happy to explain some of the finer
- plot details, which it appears you may of missed (or did I misread your
- original article?)
-
- Otherwise, followups to /dev/null. This isn't the place for a discussion of
- Eddings works. Try alt.fan.eddings.

- PS. Apologies for hacking the quoted articles down to nothing - this pesky
- news posting software just _refused_ to post the damn article with all that
- included text.
