Hi Larry! I remember you from years back. Was it the FAQ you used to
run?

First off, as shocking as this may seem, I am still around....
And yeah I read that post a few months ago about old timers still
kicking
around.... I have 61844 unread messages in the group just sitting on
my
PC.... which I will catch up on in the next 5 years probably....
I stopped actively reading the list a while ago, as I found myself
encountering way too many spoilers, and lacking the self control to
not read
them :)
With life being what it was, I stopped reading any of the riftwar
books
after Talon, when I decided I was going to wait for the last Riftwar
book to
be out, and then read them all back to back.... as I just couldn't
seem to
wait patiently between books anymore.
Anyway, I went out and bought ACI... not knowing about the mistakes
in the
book. Last week, I had read about the issue on Amazon's website
(Thanks John
for posting)... Sent an e-mail to HC... and less then a week later I
have a
corrected version. That being said... I ran into a situation where the
original and the new version were mixed up before the original was
'destroyed' as requested from HC... So long way of reaching the
question...
But how would I know by looking at the 2 books, which is the correct
one and
which is the bad copy.... Is there a page or text I can look for to
let me
know?
Secondly... if I had not read John's post on amazon... and not
switched the
book out, and a year from now after "Magician's End" comes out...
and I read
ACI... would I be completely lost? Is it just one chapter that's
messed up?
The posts on Amazon had said there were a lot of errors in the book,
and I
didn't know how bad they were, or if it was just some disgruntled
reader
thrown off by the bad chapter issue.
I am going to have to start reading the old e-mails on the list
again...
Some pretty interesting threads seemed to have passed me by.
It is refreshing to see the list carries on... like an old book... the
characters we are used to seeing are still around... and the
occasional
troll still pops up that needs a thrashing. And yes this post is
probably
the longest one I have written to the list.. but I haven't posted in
like 7
years so :p
Still Here... and Still lurking....PsiHawk
