     Callie Briggs, if you're out there in any form, Dana needs your stats
for the list. Actually, I'd heard something somewhere about most of the
show's fans being male, despite the effort that went into making the
characters appealing to women. But the simple fact of Usenet is that
there are far more men than women on board. The other mailing list
wouldn't happen to be "S***ic the H*****og", would it? (Deftly avoiding
another off-topic comment - grin!)

     Yeah, I saw this one scrambled, but could see enough to agree with
much of the above. I personally didn't catch on that Octopus missiles
didn't explode with that kind of force, though I had suspected the
"innocent citizens" weren't as innocent as made out. I followed up on
this with someone I know concerning why more of these types of
"character development" stories weren't done...it's in the next post.
