*Blush* Thanks. I'm glad you found it so.
I'm also happy that our noble webmaster also found it acceptable. ^_^

Sam, there's more that could be enlarged in the story of course. For example, I left out one of the bits about how the Demonic kill-joy, DAVE PARKER, once refused to join in our e-mail insult contest done in archaic English (what else hehe?). On the other hand back then, DAVE had also written and sent up an amazing essay on All We Ever Wanted to Know about Schwarzschild radii and neutron degeneracy in collapsing stars. So, I figure that in the RINK World scenario, he probably just as well could have been a sullen -- but sweet -- "Angel of Light," who also has the knack of sometimes masquerading as a Black Hole. :-)
