Thanks for that revision David. Much appreciated.

How does one know if your copy is legally purchased?

My utilisation of complex locution to ask what's more pathetic, fans who worship their
movie actors, or the actors who couldn't give a damn, is more a reflection of my own
superincumbent mental actuity than any circumscribed lexicon. Don't you agree?

Author royalties should be supported. They're low paid as it is, more so in Americano's highly competitve market---as Reynolds calls you in his Inhibitor books. I don't regret a book I disliked (or turbolasered). Such reads are informative, and at the end of the day, you did buy it after all. Say no to eco lovers!

They make kangaroo hunting targets? 
I expect people will start getting early Bloodlines in a week or so, unless Del Rey has tightened up their control. Though its just a suggestion, it might be considered a good idea to black out major spoilers before the official release date.

Depends on what you mean by "Hyperspace stuff." Posting chunks of text or pictures taken directly from Hyperspace is prohibited, since that's not allowed by LFL and we will honor their wishes.
IIRC, in the past we've sometimes allowed short quotes from Hyperspace articles, though. Nothing more than a few sentences.

Even then it's best to just describe -- IN YOUR OWN WORDS -- what the content or story is rather than post any chunk of the copyrighted material itself. Just to be safe.

Definitely. When dealing with Hyperspace material, always err on the side of caution.

Is it just me, or are people not being as good about warning about spoilers for Tempest?

All spoilers should go there. No more spoilers in this forum at all.
