... with the asteroid belt colony and the mysterious death hinging on earth gravity and the conspiracy about the Incredible-Tensile-Strength-Nanofiber -Whatsit (deathfloss is a good name) and the utterly peculiar quasi-libertarian rant about honorary titles?

I'll have to look it up when I get home. The bit where he winds it around the doorframe was nifty.

I'm not sure, but do you mean this story [wikipedia.org]?

That's wildly inaccurate, like all wikipedia articles.

This forum is nothing like *lively*.

No, I've lost my hardcover Analog collection. Which according to the internet, doesn't actually exist. I think I've stepped into some kind of parallel universe.
