Was Steadholder Hearnes' recruitment of Mateo as Abby's permanent armsman a subtle, shotgun wedding?[/quote]

That's Steadholder Owens, boyo...

Shadow of Freedom is a main line novel per Duckk and RFC

You can paint a zebra solid black, but that still won't make it a horse.

(I'm kidding - kind of. Shadow of Freedom may be marketed as a main-line novel - and understandably so, given that it's essentially A Rising Thunder Part 2 - but the name, the characters, the content, and the setting all mark it as a Saganami Island novel, and so that's what I call it because it's a lot easier than saying, "well, yes, it's a mainline novel, but it focuses on the exact same people in the exact same location as this sub-series....")

But you can film it with a 50's TV camera, and people will think it is a pale horse if they are told it is.

She has lots of holes to fill in her star map, like me. She could be reading to catch up, then return loaded for bear, or hexapuma.

I'm sure that's true, but I was mainly referring to the side-tracking (more like "gone-completely-off-the-rails") that went on here, not to mention your own contribution that ended up deleted. Not that that's a slam against you... I was just trying to add a touch of humor with my last post, hence the smiley.

Edit: If she hasn't been lurking here long enough to get an idea of how far off-topic threads tend to range here, I was thinking that what happened here might have overwhelmed her. It's happened before on other message boards I've participated in, especially the Rush (the band, not the blowhard) Counterparts forum (unofficially known as "The Biker Bar of Rush Messageboards", and for good reason).
