Steve,
It's got nothing to do with "Reborn" and you're not missing a thing.

Check out Lisa's new signature, and maybe that will give you a hint.

Thanks for trying Maggers but I'm still lost!! As long as I'm not missing some cryptic fpw message

Gee! Expressing "disdain" for people who disagree with you

Reading is a skill, Ken. The disdain is not for people who disagree with me, but for those that feel there is only ONE opinion...theirs!

and calling them arrogant self righteous snobs kinda makes you sound like an . . . um . . . arrogant self righteous snob yourself.

Spin it however you like, as hard as I try, I'll never sound as arrogant or as self rightous as some. Funny how those arrogant, self rightous, condescending folks all seem to know who they are, isn't it?

I was going to use a proctological referent, but "arrogant self righteous snob" describes you well enough.

How original...

MUCKRAKER!!!!

Did I spell that right?

Writing is also a skill. And as for those who "feel that there is only ONE opinion...theirs!" Well that seems to describe you pretty accurately also.

Not to yourself perhaps, but you certainly sound that way to others.

Funny how those arrogant, self rightous, condescending folks all seem to know who they are, isn't it?

Funny how one of the MOST arrogant, self righteous folks (yerself) is completely oblivious to his own faults.

Your annoyance is funny to me!

Not quite...being a regular or a big poster doesn't necessarily make you an elitist.

After all the posts on this subject lately, I think I get it.

Wow, I did not intend for this subject to turn into a Class War.... whoops.. sorry guys.

I just wanted to follow up and say that after posting the original message, I went ahead and finished Reborn and moved to Reprisal. My opinion is changing - I really like Reprisal so far. I have to think that my feelings toward Reborn were a direct correlation to the environs in which I was at the time.

I just hated the idea of not liking a FPW book... His ability to describe characters and force you to care about them is uncanny.... better than any other author I can think of at the moment...

NOW GET ALONG....

Go on and hit me with your best shot--fire away! She was really hot, as was the lead singer from Quarterflash.
