Excellent!  Thank you!

Eeewww.  There's an animated winky-face in my last post.  The winky-face was intentional, the animated part was not.

Here's an important takeaway from that article, Bova's "Starcrossed" parody of the Star Lost experiment is in print in his "Laugh Lines" compilation.  Available from Amazon.  I've ordered it, it's all sorted.

Ellison's essay on THE STARLOST debacle, "Somehow I Don't Think We're In Kansas, Toto", is in his story collection STALKING THE NIGHTMARE.
