I assume this is a remake of Dune from several years ago. That one was a big disappointment compared to the book. Perhaps with the newer technologuy, it will improve. Dune is still my favorite Sci-Fi novel -- the trilogy. Take care. Vern

I tend to read what I want when I want and read as much online as anywhere so imo all the charts and graphs and generalizations are pretty much a waste of time to peruse; therefore I took a glance and ignored all the might be useful information, but that's just me strung out among all the age groups like the boy who never grew up.

Hello, John, I, like Memphis, have read several of your three gazillion versions of Antagony and have both enjoyed and been annoyed with some as I suppose is the case with most of us would be authors on the receiving end. And I do think you actually have that great beginning within the ad hoc presentations, but in just my personal and certainly unprofessional opinion, it just might be your modest opinion of having an "above-average" vocabulary which just might, might mind you, be holding you back. Your vocabulary is certainly well beyond a mere "above-average" and as such may put too much of the burden on the reader as opposed to the writer. While most of your "above-average" vocabulary is understandable within context, it can create too many pauses for the "average" reader which of course would mean the mass market variety. I am of the opinion that you do have a "great story beginning" and possibly middle and ending, but you seem not to really want to connect to that "average" reader and finish the story in that context. I truly believe you could throttle the "above-average" wording by half or more and still maintain the eloquent presentation you present to the world and just maybe be TNBW. As I greatly admire your work as is, I say all this with the utmost respect for your craft and it is obviously only my humble opinion. Why not give it a shot and see what happens. Take care my friend. Vern

Hello, Ray, it could be the tests for antibodies are not accurate, a lot of tests aren't. Rather weird not to develop them. At any rate. good luck and best wishes for a return to good health. Take care. Vern

Welcome, John. To all new and old members who may be able to answer my question. Is there an invisible
shield over the button to add profile info. I'm guessing yes since no one seems to be using it. Inquiring minds want to know. Take care. Vern

If it feels right and sounds right, it just might be right. Of course that's just my opinion. Is that a subjective point of view? Take care. Vern

Congrats to the winners and all who entered. Take care. Vern

Good to see you made it through Ray. You might want to keep tabs on what the government is doing; they were talking about covering the treatment if insurance didn't. Haven't head if that has gone through or not, but still a chance. Take care. Vern

Welcome. Ditto my post above. Take care. Vern

Downright good one to perk up memories of a more social existence. Gets my heart pumpin' for those days of yore. Thank you ma'am. Take care. Vern

Welcome, I-AM, you might want to add some info to your profile to help folks make a limited connection and thus enhance the TNBW experience. Not a slam dunk, but can't hurt. Take care. Vern
