I'm actually at a bit of a moral dilemma. on the one hand, the sentinel is all, you know, mean and stuff and whatnort.

but on the other hand -- they're kinda right. If i were a perplexian, i wouldnt want a bunch of weirdo fForeigners who have apparently contributed nothing to my world to go around taking the highest honors, just cos some guy at some school thinks they deserve it.

so like, i want my leitmark. you betcha! but on the other hand, i see room fFor a letter to the editor voicing my thoughts. would it be rocking the boat, ya think? maybe i'll post it under a pseudonym or something.

Anyone notice that the article says "an Earth-dwelling rabble of ad hoc Cube-hunters may be issued with a Leitmark." Notice how they a Leitmark. That means the rabble (us) will be receiving a single Leitmark. So if it does come in the parcel, we will each be receiving 1/333 of a Leitmark. I'm not sure anyone's going to notice I'm wearing it on my sleeve if that's the case.

I think that I understood the article differently than you. The article says that we will receive a leitmark, but never says whan. I think that we will receive it when the cube is recovered, as a reward, and not before. It would be consistent with the fast that a leitmark is a great honor. Why would we receive the leitmark now, when we have yet to do a single thing in the direction of hte cube?
The writer of the article seems to have a problem with the fast that *all* of us will get one at the end, which will make it common. And he also may dislike foreigner, even if he claims otherwise. The sentinel has also run a lot of article critical of Sente and this may just be part of an ongoing campaign to discredit him and his policy. This article may aim at creating outrage among perplexians. By being vague, can stretch the truth and have more impact at people jump to conclusions.

i think it was yesterday when i said i wished the sentinel articles would be a little more encyclopedic, giving more fFact about this interesting world, and less day-to-day ho-hum plodding along of news. reading today's article, i am pleased to see my request has been answered Smile

what a great article, eh
