RE: Fairy Myths (was: The Bushwacking continues...)

[Raymond Camden]

FYI, if you have not read any of Stephenson, you are _really_ missing out.
His books are the best sci-fi I've read in my life, and have some _damn_
interesting ideas, especially Snow Crash and Diamond Age. (For those of you
who have ready DA, what did you think of the computerized training the
little girl received? I thought it was dead on correct in regards to how
training could be done... although its been a while since I've read it.)
