LOL, you have a point there.


Yeah, I am luke warm on Stephenson though I ploughed through several of 
his books.  Struck me as a guy trying too hard to show off his brain 
more than anything else.  The whole never really trancends the parts, 
but such as they are, the books can get you thinking on some of the 
themes.

I will credit him evermore for arming me with the expression, to do "a 
Stuka"
