An exchange about Margaret Atwood

Niall, is it okay if i lift your writing about Margaret Atwood Vs SF? It'd definitely be valuable here. If not, please don't hesitate to delete the page; i've taken the sizeable liberty of thieving it straight away, as it's unlikely that anyone will see it before you get a chance to delete it. -- TA

Sure, no problem. Feel free to take anything else you like the look of, too. It's quite flattering, actually. -- NH

Oh, no worries, the rest of your livejournal's toss. -- TA

Obviously, i'd use a smiley there if my conscience allowed it. -- TA

A simple </pred> would have sufficed, I feel... -- NH

Actually, it's relevant that Greg Egan Has Read A New Kind Of Science.
