Did not happen. I even think twice before I delete spam, and Ragabash has been on like, twice so far. He wouldnt touch anything. Nobody touched Simon's review. Simon, if you want me to check any part of this, I am happy to. Just give me the rough time frame that you posted it, and if you use more than one computer PM me which you were using. If it was a glitch, I will happily tell the board. I think its possible that you goofed though, becasue nobody would delete a review of yours, I can promise you that.

I can assure you I didn't do it. That goes against everything we wanted this place to be.
I'm still yet to see a review that is not a replication of the promotional material.
Is there any???
I just looked on DN and there seems to be no discussion there at all. Just one or two posts from Simon and Byron. It really seems to have fizzed from an internet impact perspective
Let it become a sepulchre
of bleached bones,
an abode of restless spirits!
Let its fora echo
with the crying of shadows
writhing in a funeral dance,
and with the loud lament
of the disconsolate chimera!
(Always fun to mix it up with T.S. )
"Let the dead give water to the dead. As for me, it's NO MORE FUCKING TEARS!"
Herbert's son has carried on the torch, producing an impressive collection of Dune sequels and prequels (including one, Paul of Dune, released last week) but none of them even faintly compare with the stellar original.
I can see Byron trying to squeeze a thin bit of milk out of "impressive collection".
Who doesn't think she's thinking sheer number of pages (and dead trees)?
(Btw, what's with the Word Count Captain over Dumb way? )

Brick is a damn good reader, I have the audiobooks of Dune through God Emperor and he really captures the characters. Him reading the shitbooks would actually elevate their quality.
Ever since Frank Muller's terrible injury, I'd put Brick at the top of the list for contemporary readers.
I hope he's just doing his job and chasing the checks in the same cynical fashion as the Hack/Sidekick duo and the HLP parasites. I wouldn't blame him at all.
"Anything I write will be remembered and listed in bibliographies on Dune for several hundred years ..." — some delusional halfwit troll.

Rob
There isn't a chance in hell that I would have made it through PoD without him. He's a damn good reader.
If I decide to subject myself to any further hackisms I'll definitely be doing it via the medium of audio while I'm working. My reading time is far too precious to waste on those bastards.
