Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

ReplyDeleteMe, I was thinking whether kids these days would have the attention span to get past the first three pages! This was clearly targeted at the comic book demographic of an earlier time!

The Times didn't get it either in the 1930s, and they didn't apologise to Dr. Goddard until the 1960s, well after his death.
