Re: Introducing Myself
Wouldn't that be nice! Heaven's Reach ended on gigantic cliffhangers, such as WILL HUMANITY GO EXTICT!? :p Heaven's Reach ended with a giant rocket made of boo lifting off of Jijo. A long time had passed since Streaker had left. The cliffhangers of Jijo: The Jophur were in control the Great Library. How do you get rid of them without destroying the books? The Great Library is NOT the largest collection of books on Jijo. The Rothen ship inside of the time goop has a Library unit. The Uplift Library units store memory in the 4th dimension. The 4th dimension is going to close down as the galaxy that Jijo is in breaks away from the other four galaxies. How do you get into the Rothen ship, get access to the Library unit, and download as much data onto Jijo compatible data storage devices as possible before the Great Split occurs? ...and: How does one build and launch a rocket ship made from boo? Those are the cliffhangers I know. Vilyehm ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

It sounds like a really strange result of the hyperspace levels temporarily breaking down. Other than FTL travel, what relies on hyperspace? ~E.S. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
RE: Introducing Myself
And then Temptation introduced a bunch more cliffhangers to the situation on Jijo, via the Buyur. I think the Buyur will prevent the Jophur from winning, but I doubt they have any incentive to prevent the destruction of any part of the Commons civilization. ~E.S. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

RE: Introducing Myself
AT LAST my messages from like 6 months ago when I joined the mailing list have materialized. Though I do wonder what took so long. I see references to messages that I know I have not gotten, so I think there's also something preventing my address from receiving some messages from this list. Who is the list manager? Hello. There are plenty of real names and plenty of ‘nyms here, so don’t be shy either way. “ES” or “zoon33” both seem reasonable enough - as long as you’re consistent or let the rest of us know your wishes who are we to argue? Hello! I hope my real name isn't showing! I cannot find any controls to make the email service stop doing that. I will go with E.S. for now. It’s been quiet recently but every now and again this place sputters into life… I doubt it’ll ever reach the volumes of The Old Days again (unless DB WRITES MORE UPLIFT BOOKS…) but there’s always room for discussion. Wouldn't that be nice! Heaven's Reach ended on gigantic cliffhangers, such as WILL HUMANITY GO EXTICT!? :p At one point, there was Between a Grok and a Hard Pace on the net. My fanfic set 100 years before Brightness Reef. A Qheuen challenges a G'Kek to a downhill race--and wins. Then for the sake of continued peace, it's all hushed up. Only worth being a fanfic when written. Vilyehm I think I read that once... the qheuen attached itself to a section of boo and used it as a giant wheel, right? ~E.S. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

That would be me. Don't know why I didn't see any notices about the held mail until the other day. Odd.

Introducing Myself
Hello People, I'm new to this mailing list, so I decided to introduce myself. I'm a longtime fan of David Brin's Uplift series, I've read all the novels and short stories except the new one (Gorilla, My Dreams), and I've also read Contacting Aliens and bought the GURPS roleplaying book (sadly I have nobody to play with, but oh well). I don't know how active I'll be posting, though. Also I don't have a screenname picked out for this list. I try not to share my real name online. ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
