Hi Tim: In fact I liked a lot that article. Well writen and witty. Yes, that is esential part of good journalism and it is not so easy as it can seem to those that look at it with some sense of derision and superiority. To be funny and entertainning requires talent, lot of it, although, of course, of a very different sort of that used for scientific or analitycal thinking. And no, not being english my natural language -as it is obvious just reading anyone of my akward post- I would had been uncapable to write something of the sort. Respect the game, yes again; I think I am lot stronger than Mr Burgess and so I had been capable of more resistance, but, again yes, not too much more. An finally another no: being as I am, I do not imagine myself giving a more acurate description of nothing. As Burgess -as any writer- I tend a lot more to look for the global, the human side and the funny side of things, not very much to the technical aspect. May I say that I do not care much about that? I recognize this not with pride, but with humility. In my next life I want to be like Mr. Hyatt or Mr. Moreland. At least a change... Fernando
