		<description>I like reading new fiction before it gets in print.    It&#039;s true, it may be unedited, but it&#039;s still exciting to see and comment on stories before editors get to see them.

I&#039;m really glad you find us useful.   Geoff says I&#039;m too much about the positive, but I do think it&#039;s useful to tell people what does work in addition to what doesn&#039;t.   There&#039;s always the fear that if somebody doesn&#039;t reinforce the positive that it will get lost on the cutting board.   

And in case you haven&#039;t noticed, I can also be quite blunt (if not savage) when I think something doesn&#039;t work.</description>

		<description>Still around, Mary still driving.  Just had a bunch of new recruits (though one set commute from PA so we&#039;ll see how long before the commute kills them.)
From your era we still have Me, Mary, Geoff, Astrid, Levin, Charlie, Paula. . . who else you remember from round then?</description>
