I have all the e-mails, and I started on the HTML version of the summary, 
but I never got around to finish it. I can send you the material if you 
like. Or you can wait till the whole thing goes on-line (but that may be a 
while).

While we are on the topic: we also started analysing _Glory Season_ but 
never finished that. JDG has promised us his analysis of the next chapter a 
few times but never delivered. Anyone else want to take a shot at it?


>In the same vein was The Postman ever discussed?

No. Only _The Practice Effect_ and part of _Glory Season_.

Before his website (www.davidbrin.com) got a major overhaul (thankfully now 
with a background colour that does *not* require sunglasses), there was a 
paragraph on the site where David Brin called it "a movie loosely based on 
my novel The Postman". He has posted his comments (some good, some bad) at 
http://www.davidbrin.com/postmanmoviearticle.html.

IMO, the movie is not really that bad, as long as you do not expect it to 
be just the movie version of the book (because then you are in for a 
disappointment).


>List related?

Yes. How dare you post something on-topic here!   <grin>
