Ann: Commencement of Worldwide Beta Testing of World Wi-Fi, page-159

Investors in Norwood and in Lotto have a lot in common, swaggie. Big rewards possible but unlikely.

I would be bitterly disappointed if your novel didn't include many of the characters roaming and fuming through these threads. There is plenty of scope for character development: uprampers, downrampers, moderators, scaremongers, manipulators, unsubstantiaters, holders buying and selling to themselves, accumulators and of course the ubiquitous and thoroughly odious bots who have destroyed the company.

It's all a bit sad, because 18 months ago we were chortling about buying a chateau with the dividend stream from Norwood. Even worse, swaggie, Billy's bride is as we speak using Billy's hard-earned to spend a month somewhere in Provence. It's the final indignity.

Meanwhile the geriatric Billy goes to the office earning a pittance.

Is life fair ? Is the Pope a catholic ? Is Peter Ostergaard a conduit to wealth and happiness ? Perhaps, swaggie, you can address these questions in your literary masterpiece.
