    Glad to see your posts appearing again, thanks. I believe the excellent story "E for Effort" is by T L Sherred.

    Hi Bill,

    thanks for the correction! I think my eyes are going.

    Hopefully I'll pick up the pace with posting stuff again, I think I'm getting pickier with the books I pick up.
