I don't mean that comment to imply that Howard is a bad person, just that I
don't think that this forum is the appropriate place for him to discuss his
personal feelings and conflicts with respect to Angie, particularly
considering that she and many other people peripherally involved also read
the list.

From a writer's standpoint, I don't feel like that conflict really adds
much of value to the stories - the style of his writing is the real strong
point.

Heh.  <g>

I'll drop it here - don't have much more to say on the topic.  Howard will
do whatever he likes - he's got our $0.02 a couple of times over.
