Re: [GZG] Interesting mercenary idea

Sorry to hear that; even I found it an interesting germ, and others were
jumping in literary refs. I'll admit, Dorsai came to mind immediately,
but
shoved aside because of the similarities to Dune's Saudaukar, i.e.,
soldier's planet, though that was more a death world, which I don't
think
Dorsai's was.

As for John's comments, I'd have to say that was one of his more
measured
and least abusive  I've seen, and do thank him for that.

Thanks, John!

While not directly useful for your idea's development, I think he was
replying to someone else's comments, side thread/discussions a common
part
of this kind of open discussion, and you should do what I've done so
often,
just ignore the parts I don't find readily usable.

PS Hacking-and-slashing of shaver handles proceeds apace, but nothing
coming together as I'd hope. Even if nothing comes of this, it's been
fun
wielding the razor saw...
