Well, there was a thread going on a related topic, you could contribute to that or start a new one. I think part of the problem is that there are only so many reasonable posts that can be written on science fiction works. I don't think we want to be as anal retentive as the Jordan lists are, getting into flame wars over every single plot element. I'm certainly not opposed to threads on this, of course, and I appreciate JDGs efforts to keep the Glory Season analysis going...and I'm partway through Kiln People and will be ready to discuss that. I'm just giving a possible cause for the relative number of SF vs. political posts. The way we have handled that was "all is Brin" Dan M. You asked a good question in the first part of your post, and I'll try to answer it in some detail.
