And I thought journalism in the modern age had become all about making up your own reality and sensationalizing around that.  Maybe there's hope for us after all.

Congrats to JimO on a well-deserved award.  You're one of the good guys, Jim!

I am hoping to meet Mr. Oberg some day to get his autograph on my first edition copy of Red Star in Orbit.

Thanks, guys. You see my rough drafts and silly blind alleys that I start out with, here, and help me straighten and smooth them.
