I've been wondering exactly how accurate most of Mark Mandel's analysis about Dragaera is. Not so much if his exact conclusions are correct but if he hasn't missed any very important details before getting to them. If you've not seen it his page is http://world.std.com/~mam/Cracks-and-Shards/ You'd think there is at least a high level of validity; it is after all a direct link from Dreamcafe.com Anyway what are the opinions out there? - Angelo " I'll see you in court."
