LOL! *applause* Jon, whether or not people on this list agree with
you(and so far I have), I definately think you deserve a "Purple Heart"
for your efforts on this list. Not many writers take such time with
answering questions(esp to a list), so just know that not all of us are
unappreciative.
[note to self: Never ask Jon for details] <g>
(and no, I'm not kissing hoop- he still needs to write a few more
books for that)

Okay then, I'll kiss some Hoop. I have had more than a few email exchanges
with Mr. Szeto (were -did- your family name come from anyway???) and I have
found the vast majority of them enjoyable and entertaining. Jon has also
given some nasty hints of what he knows is up and coming, and it does such a
good job of teasing Mike and I (you naughty naughty boy you :)

I hope to get more from him and Steve soon. Like Target: Smugglers. They
moved it back, and I am MAD!!!

Heheheh... it never ceases to amaze me that ppl are surprised when
FASA pushes back a product. Adam Jury, if your reading this, you should
add something to the FAQ that tells ppl they should expect FASA products
to come out, at a minimum, at least 6 months after they are "supposed"
to be released. Granted, it's not always the case, but it does happen
more often than not. And usually if it does come out on time, even I-
king of bad grammar- can spot huge gaping holes in the lousy editing
jobs(which were probably rushed).
And, just to pick at nits, I believe it's titled "Target: Smugglers
Havens" which is supposed to be a place book directed at ports (New
Orleans and Seattle I've heard are going to be in it among others) in
the vein of "Target: UCAS". Just to update things I guess.

All this talk of R2 reminds me of something. Jon S., is FASA
ever going to post the errata you mentioned for R2 to their
web site? :) (heh..or maybe I just add six monthes, to when
I saw that post :))
You have to give the guys at FASA credit, they may be late, but
they always have good stuff. :)

Murphy's Law dictates that the second Mr. Szeto has answered
*everyone's* questions about R2, and the majority is throughly satisfied
after flooding his email box, then- and only then- will FASA release the
R2 errata. :)

No, I don't have to give them credit. *couARTOFSHADOWRUNgh* :)

Isn't that the truth.

Heh.....No comment there. I could also add several novels that were
less then wonderful. But hey, nobody's perfect. (Just don't
tell my girlfriend I said that. :))
