I'm subscribed to this thread and that message appeared in my email, but wasn't on the board when I came on. Deleted maybe?

I'd imagine so. I think they just wanted to get to 15 posts so they could post a load of links - which they duly did, on the face of it to YouTube and a couple of other sites (though I didn't click on them, so they could have actually led anywhere...)

It won't turn out to be bad; it's an excellent book.

So you can aim your sights at me, too, if you're disappointed.

You won't find his posts anywhere on the boards now.

You must have been right there after he posted the links, Tillane, because that message wasn't there for very long.

Re: Book Hauls!
Just received John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar from bookmooch. Tis a big book about overpopulation. Anyone read it? I'm part way thru his Squares of the City,hardly an inspiring book that one.

It is a good book GOLLUM. Am going to throw myself behind JD and Teresa. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.
