Flame wars are inevitable. Again, free speech is the norm here and most of the regulars will go a long way to protect your and their right to speak themselves out. In speaking themselves out, people of a diverse locality, age and social background are bound to find themselves in conflict sooner or later. Common sense is your only guide, once again. You can flame, you might get flamed. You are free to say what you want, and others are free to reply as they want.

No. One simply cannot talk common sense with such persons. I am more and more saving my brain energy for more edifying conversation via the Web. I am a California Republican with libertarian leanings; I am not a Dixie Republican from South Carolina on fire for Christ. I like less taxes, live my life just fine without the government telling me how to feel or what to think, and agree that the United States should be on guard with respect to defense matters in a dangerous and unpredictable world.

To put out the flame, remove the pot from the pot stand, and then carefully remove the pot stand from the stove taking care not to burn your fingers in the process.

Actually, Star Wars can be played pretty well with an arcade joystick or the Tron stick. But for the authentic feel, you need a flight yoke. The original ones are frequently available on E-bay (search for yoke). They usually go for $75-$100, although I saw a Road Riot 4WD yoke, which is similar (only single-axis, though), go for $8 on E-bay recently. However, they are often pretty beat up, or missing buttons, triggers, stops, gears, etc.

Because publishers of adult fiction demand that it be strictly categorized by genre, and Stewards of the Flame doesn't fit genre requirements. Since it's set in the future on another planet, it's considered science fiction-yet like my YA novels, it appeals more to general audiences than to those with extensive science fiction background. This means it's not suitable for adult SF lines, and in any case I want it to reach other readers, too.

It's better to start on the regulars. Newbies sometimes get upset and run off before we've had our proper fun with them; the regulars are just looking for half-assed lamewits to contradict their unsupported opinions, and will enjoy nothing more than a vigorous, on-topic browbeating.
