I find myself unable to describe just how much my eyes bulged when I
realised Possum-Man got an EoMR. And I can also vouch that UTS has
been a busy place lately -- I was up there today, at a building on
George St. (I think) and couldn't help but wonder what was up with the
mess.

Heh heh. Heh heh. Yeah.

Yes -- to expand upon that point, I was worrying that perhaps Pos was
becoming a bit too competent a bit too quickly; as though his
endearing flatfootery (you know you love him for it, really) was being
replaced by mainstream buttkickery.

Whew. That's good to know, then.

Thank you very much for this helpful and insightful review, Saxon! I'm
hoping to get Relinquished #5 out soon, but, well... *meaningful
glance at 'December 2007' title* you know how these things turn out.
=P
