Well I think either is fine, but the emphasis is supposed to be on what has been written in science fiction. I can write purely speculatively if I want but I need to have references to science fiction books, films, television programmes or whatever. And while I'm on the subject I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has suggested books and discussed this on the list. I've got a lot of useful stuff from it. Not to mention that it's got me wondering again about a BP game in our solar system. :) Jason *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
