Idiots Uncle. Simply idiots. And mother is worried that I'll fall for one of these simpletons? I'm surprised that they can actually read. Being a college student doesn't guarantee intelligence does it? How can Lester Tourville not be on three of the lists? For goodness sake! And Hamish Alexander is listed at ninth place on one of the lists? At first I thought they just hadn't read all of the stories, but they have. Were you a jackass in college as well Uncle?

One guy has Hamish ahead of Honor. Ok, I respect that, however if he thinks Hamish is so talented how can he not have Esther McQueen on his list? After all, McQueen was his one match at Trevor's Star, perhaps even better than he! <snip>
My sister is a bit irritated with me that my twelve year old niece is so upset with a group of eleven college students she recently met at her piano recital. They've been communicating about the top 10 tacticians in the Honorverse. And it is quite heated. They are arguing over position on the list and certain people not making the list. I admit, it is difficult to do. I'm too chicken to send her my list. She's so hot at the moment that she'd melt a geiger counter at ten paces! Choose your top ten, in descending order. Even someone not on the list. Only ten can be sent to Honorverse Tactician's Hall of Fame.
