>Just a note to both of you: <snip> >These are commonly called spoilers, and the space used to obscure >them is called spoiler space. I hope we didn't spoil anything in our brief conversation. I have, of course, been lurking on the list for several weeks before posting, as netiquette dictates, and I've been very glad that spoilers for are marked, as I'm waiting a bit before getting _Sethra Lavode_ (in a impressive show of personal restraint). >And the >gender of the master is hardly the worst inconsistency involved, >particularly since we know Draegaran has a gender-neutral pronoun set. True enough, my original post was meant entirely in jest, with Tazendra's reaction to being called a transvestive in the back of my mind. I suspect it would be a short but bloody affair. I personally feel that in addition to adding to the personality of the narrators, "malicious inconsistencies" also make a nice excuse that the author can use to keep from getting too hung up in previous books and instead concentrate on the important part, generating new material. Besides, people who post on the internet about a single pronoun obviously have too much time on their hands. :) --Andrew _________________________________________________________________ Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more! http://special.msn.com/msn/election2004.armx
