I agree with practically everything in this thread, BUT...

Is it just me? Is no one else surprised that it was MOBIUS who started this thread? I've just finished reading four or five other threads in which he was urging authors on to unbelievable extremes (implants, rib removals, amputations...) and here he's coming out on the opposite side of the arguement? I'd accuse him of playing devil's advocate if he hadn't been so consistant about his position in this thread.

What's going on here? Bored Saturday afternoon minds want to know!
