Huge Big Humoungous Code:
	I've got to agree with Beth and Karl that this did not make
for the most entertaining reading.

	Although a compulsive taker-of-notes, I must say that to date
all attempts to take notes on Cherryh's books have failed miserably
around p.85, as I'm much more interested in just reading :-) I have however,
been slowly taking notes on all aspects of the azi. Each re-reading of
_Cyteen_ I get a little more....

	This looks ok, but the QUOTE section is likely to get incredibly
large, with material coming in from many books, especially for a topic
like jump. I'm willing to give it a go, and I bagsies azi pyschological
development, having some notes on it already.
