Actually Gryph, I think it haunts EVERYONE who does any amount of serious writing. I don't think I'm burnt out yet, but I'm certainly having a bit more trouble pushing through to the ending sceene of my current 'book' now that I've written one of the two sceenes that have been floating in my mind since I started the rough plot outline.

That's what I thought while reading it. Speaking of which... Hey Phil, oh though great artistically talented special member for life; that might make a great fan-pic, if the muse ever struck you!

As to the worry about someone actually dialing the number, I think its moot, since given Corwin's family connections (on both sides) it wouldnt be hard to select a number that would otherwise be considered invalid by the phone co. For example, assuming NAPS used 10 diget numbers, the access could well be a 15 didget one. This was actually used in WWII (the underlying theory is called Chaos theory) to provide cell members with untracable phone links.

And I've been trying not to add this last bit, but I've failed...

Just read A's winter break, and I'm glad to see SOMEONE was able to tighten that poor lads ::snicker:: ..errrm... screws.
