Further adventures of...

The riot and insurrection continues in Sooper Sekrit SFWA Newsgroups.  With over a hundred fresh posts this morning, I have officially shrugged my shoulders and walked away.  Too voluminous and verminous for my taste.  Besides, I'm too obscure to even merit pirate copies of my books posted to the internet.

Meanwhile, a rookie pitcher for the BoSox threw a no-hitter last night, second game in the major leagues.  That sort of thing could go to your head.

Don't quote me on this, but SFWA as an organization is important and does many good things. But I've found the iinfighting and cliquishness to be really off-putting. I just keep sending the dues money and keep my head down. ;-)

I didn't state that well. Should read don't quote me on this, but I've found the in-fighting and cliquishness to be really off-putting. All the same, SFWA as an organization is important and does many good things so I just keep sending the dues money and keep my head down. ;-)


There, that's better.

Sounds like a good policy. But just ask Ray Bradbury -- humans like to gather at accident sites and watch train wrecks.

And yes, you could predict the major players without reading any of the posts.
