And kindle readers are available free for the PC, Mac, iPad, android etc. so what I don't have in paperback (and landmarkonthenet.com has some) i have in kindle format. Back to the movie, I wish they didn't pack that many books into it. It opens with a superbly shot night raid wading through water, which is actually the beginning of 'the sun over Breda' but is changed to be the same battle where inigo's father is killed and where he saves the life of the count of guadalmedina. Then it goes through events from captain alatriste, the hills over Breda, the king's gold, the cavalier in the yellow doublet .. But doesn't pay as much attention to malatesta's character, even removing the leitmotiv he uses in the books (that snatch of opera he always whistles). Hen goes into the future a bit (quevedo arrested for scurrilious verses against the king and sent to the San Marcos prison, the one for royal traitors that malatesta is originally sent to in the books, whereas here the assassination plot against the king is removed, inigo kills him in a duel .. and finally the tercio decimated at rocroi, with the camera freezing on Alatriste as he makes a last suicidal stand against oncoming cavalry. If hey had just stopped at the king's assassination plot and added the rocroi scenes as a footnote, and developed the fray Emilio bocanegra character (creepily, superbly played by a woman in this movie) it would have been far better. Bocanegra fades out of the picture after releasing Alatriste and then sending malatesta after him early on in the movie, after the aborted assassination of the prince of wales and duke of buckingham. And instead of Anjelica de Alquezar finally killed by Inigo, she is shown as actually loving him but preferring to marry Guadalmedina for his money and title, and Alatriste pleads with her to get inigo off the galley he has been sentenced to for spying for France (which of the books is that in? I don't remember any such story, though there is one in the yellow doublet book i think, where bocanegra almost succeeds in condemning inigo to the galleys, only prevented by quevedo going to Luis de Alquezar's hometown and bringing back his birth certificate which shows Jewish ancestry, and blackmailing him with it) --srs (iPad)

How many women to men in Silk? Percentage? And how come most of them don't write or reply? Could it be that we tend to notice lesser activity when we think that there is lesser activity? Similar to how we tend to notice all the bad female drivers when we think that women don’t drive well (Ignoring all instances of bad male driving).

I am not going to reply to this thread, either on the women issue or the top-posting issue. :)
Re: [silk] Why don't women write or reply more on Silk?
OK. I'll take the bait. I am a woman , once described by Udhay's as a ' determined lurker' . The reason I lurk are 1. I've been on the list only for a few months. 2. Unless I have substance to add I don't weigh in .

I agree with the reactions to top posting .. kinda used to it everywhere but here I am not supposed to do it :p and I end up just lurking
