I never said to plaigerize the man. I never said to use the parts of the descriptions that would not fit in with the CF realm...I said this.... > > This author is often criticized for over descibing the physical characteristics of a scene....but he does so in such a colorful language that I found it to be actually uplifting from the everyday popcorn you usually get. I put Guy forward as an example of how a desc should be done...not as a cut and paste possibility. Testy this week proud blade? looking for things to argue with me about? I could ablige you so easily...but alas, this time Your agument has nothing to do with what I said. FTA
