    I think that the best things about (net).sf-lovers are the reviews
and subsequent discussion; both for new books - so that i can look out
(or avoid!) them - and for golden oldies. I for one would like to see
much more reviews and discussions of _books_ in this new newsgroup.
Also i would welcome discussion on interesting themes within science 
fiction (the net has discussed immortality, time travel, faster than
light travel, the biology of aging etc. etc. and i found them all
worthwhile). Hopefully we can, through consensus now, avoid the fate 
of net.sf-lovers. As a step in the right direction a review of Brin's
_The Postman_ follows. On a slightly different tack - this is the
end of term for those of us at school and so i would expect that
the net traffic would drop quite considerably around this time. Lack
of immediate response to articles does not necessarily signify apathy,
please give us more reviews!
