[Florian the Fool]

Wiggs,

I wondered where Wert had found that quote as well, as it wasn't part of the blog entry, so I took a deep breath and looked in the comments.

I don't usually bother looking in there are most comments are either sycophantic or assinine. Wert's post is a cut and paste from GRRM's reply to one poster who had outlined his theory that the author had lost interest in the series, before moving on to comments along the lines of "hasn't he considered what would happen to us if he dies before he finishes?"

Under the circumstances, I think GRRM's reply is polite and considered.
