Thanks, as a matter of fact, I do enjoy them.
I also enjoy reading this newsgroup, as one might guess from the
essays.
Not only did I grow up reading Asimov's essays, but for a long time,
they were the *only* essays I read. So that by the time I started
writing science essays of my own, that's the way I thought they were
*supposed* to be written: personal anecdote, historical discussion of
scientific topic, and concluding remark. Now, of course, I know
there are other styles and structures, but I'm afraid I'm too far in
to change easily.
Thanks very much for the kind words.
