Hitomi, PLEASE stop posting like this!  You ARE a good writer! All the
people clamouring for more of 'A Son's Duty' (On the top ten list remember)
indicate that you have importance.  

Please, do not remind me.

It wasn't a good effort, and I still have to translate the other 43 chapters
and add appropriate appendices.

As for importance.

Do you think anyone will actually remember me in ten years?  Or fifty?  What
I do will not last out my generation.

And no, I'm not going to shut up.  I'll eat my lightsaber before I'll stop
saying you're a good writer.

I've given up trying to convince YOU otherwise.

Hitomi

Hitomi-sama, please, remember that the fanfic may be the style of writing
remembered as the popular form of the 1990s. If this is the case, you will
be in the books.. even if not, we will all remember these days.
