Re: [OT] Plausible Sci-fi?

Also, this was debated more vigorously, and a good deal less clearly, on
several USENET lists when the the SST movie came out. I think there was
a
bit of a thread on this list, too. For back posts to USENET, if you have
WEB access, I'd suggest a WEB archive searcher, such as
www.dejanews.com.
For back posts to this list, Jerry Han's site (I KNOW someone will
supply
that, as I don't have my browser list handy.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, don't respond to anyone else on list about the
topic.
I'd be delighted to offer my views, IN DIRECT MAIL, if you wish.

     Well, other people disagree, but they have been arguing over
     this point intermittently on the internet for decades
     (back when it was Arpanet)

     You might want to try reading Joe Haldeman's THE FOREVER WAR
     and John Steakley's ARMOR
