What I first though about when I read this story was.. We should clean the host's genome and then defrag it! We need some ad-aware like tool to clean the genome! :-) I guess this is a new form of car analogies. Now what would be really good would be to know if this dna can become a parasite again in any way... And if so.. what triggers it?!! :P

Eth,

one *tiny* nit: In the title page, it seems to me that the "ell-tee" pair in Alt-Katholiken is kerned too tight. Maybe it's my Acrobat (7.0.7 on MacOS X 10.4.3), and when printed it looks OK; but maybe it's something you'd want to know. In the Bishop's signature on page 7 I see the same thing; in fact, the LT pair is set narrower than the AT pair, which is not what you'd normally do.

It otherwise looks very beautiful. Also, neumes! How... Gregorian! :-)

Where did I write anything about doing away with all petroleum usage? I'm not suggesting that we stop "cold turkey" -- I am suggesting that getting all wet and excited about a fucking USB port is rather pathetic in the context of the larger global energy problems we're facing.
