Ah, you have beat me to it. Fine read. And sad. I've lost motivation for work after reading first page. Not that there's something I was unaware of, but, still -- oh, how we ended up! _________________

Beautiful read so far, yet terribly "argh".

Great read. It's really pathetic the situation we find ourselves in now. |

| I only took a brief look at the first two paragraphs because something like this needs to be read more carefully and more quietly. At night i will take a look at it. From what i can see, it's going to be a very interesting read. Thanks to Jeremy Reimer for posting this. Can't wait for more parts.  _________________
