If this is the last one, so be it -- few authors would\nbe nice enough to do this at all, much less with such grace.\n\nFar better the time should be spent on _Short Sun_!\n\nAs for Mint/Marble, he should realize that he makes so few mistakes that\nwhen we see one (even if it's nearly obviously a mistake), we have to\nthink about it for a while!\n\nAll in all, a fine set of answers.\n\nI wonder if as part of the liturgy (ceremony? whatever) of becoming a\nnun in today's church, one specifically renounces the things Gene\nlisted?\n\nTo Patrick:\n\nI think Rose has been cannibalizing Marble's parts for decades.  I sent\na suggestion to that effect a week ago which seems to have made the\n\"each message\" list subscription but not the \"digest\" version.  When\nMarble cannibalizes Rose's body for parts, she doesn't \"take\" them, she\n\"reclaims\" them, for example.\n\n   -- vizcacha\n    (david_lebling at avid.com)"
