X-Message-Number: 21686 From: Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2003 22:38:55 EDT Subject: quotations --part1_199.196914d7.2bddee3f_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Reading James Swayze's last post regarding nanotech (which made some very good points), a small suggestion. When using quotes from previous messages by different people, it's easy for the reader to become confused over who said what, easy to mistake a single quote for a double quote etc. Might be a good idea to lead off each quotation with the name of the writer. By the way, James, your story idea sounds good, but in order for it to sell there has to be some conflict and character interplay. Some of the old science fiction could succeed on ideas and sense of wonder alone, but no longer.
