I doubt you're doing anything wrong. Keep in
mind that most people are running this on their
home systems. They person hosting it may
not have half your stamina and you're taking

Re:Bruno hasn't totally been forgotten

On: Giordano Bruno After 400 Years

This site, http://www.scifan.com/series/allforth.asp
has the third book in the series, Daemonomania, coming out this September.

For those unfamiliar with Crowley's stuff, suffice
it to say that his take on Bruno is that by changing our view of the universe, he literally changed the universe retroactively. Once people came to believe in a heliocentric universe, the previous version of the universe winked out and never existed at all. Overnight the closed universe of Dante became the open universe we know and love today. A conceit that would have tickled Bruno, I suspect.
