Hi Gents,
It's excellent to have any nice interesting people amongts us, the more the merrier.
I don't recall reading anything from Mr. Cussler (my fault) but i know he's very popular and he would enhance any board by his mere presence. I'd also would appreciate any author willing to go to the enlightened ones in search of info or advise to better portrait the features or particulars of my favourite firearms. I'm currently reading a Marcinko novel located partly in Buenos Aires and am amazed by the accuracy of certain details (besides the lack of it and literary allowances he takes for the sake of keeping the novel interesting). Detail definitely pleases us when it does reach familiar grounds. My favourite authors are rich in details when it comes to weaponry and its operation (Clancy, Bond, Coonts, etc), every once and again they screw up and one wonders where do they get their info. Movies do that all the time, royally pi**e* me off (hate cocking or double action Glocks- Matrix, The Net, etc).
I'd suggest that Mr. Cussler would be more than welcomed here and he could perfectly use an alias for his email address. I do have an email that is related to "Norman Bates" for this kind of use, for example.
Nice to have world famous "buddies", but i believe most of us are here for other reasons and Mr. Cussler would not be too much annoyed by the forum members. It is sad to learn that being deprived of the pleasure of participating could be part of the price of being so well known.
