>JACOB:
        You say you haven't read the "Solvent" story, so I can't guess what
parts of the scientific bizniz you aren't aware of.
        Perhaps you didn't realize that my shaft was not FULL of air. That
was the very problem I was trying to deal with -- I needed the characters to
be able to talk and breathe at the bottom, yet not be squished into jelly by
the titanic pressure of 4000 miles of air. So I allowed only a BIT of air to
leak into the shaft which would flow to the bottom. This isn't designed as a
fool-proof solution, just an indication that I was not ignoring the glaring
impossibilities that center-of-the-earth stories usually do.

BOB:
        I don't know how you could expect Gladstone to mail their albums out
in better containers. Those folded up cardboard things function exactly like
a solid box as near as I can tell. Not a single issue of any of the 50-60
albums I've received from them has ever been the slightest bit damaged. I
think you should blame the postal workers in Maine and wait and see how the
next albums arrive.

DAVID: 
        I guess I must see $crooge stories differently than other readers or
writers. I can't imagine what interest there could be in a story about the
world's richest Duck getting richer. Note that in all the $crooge
quest-for-treasure stories I've ever done, he has NEVER attained his
treasure, and usually loses something in his attempt to get more of what he
already has plenty of.
        "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" would have meant nothing
whatsoever if anyone had gotten out with an ounce of gold. That was the
whole point.

        And what was that weird message about "Bux Bunny"? A gag?
