    Read the interview, which I loved, whihc led me to the site, which I loved where I read “I’m told it was actually Jerry Pournelle who coined the phrase TANSTAAFL…which many people (including myself, thank you to the reader who wrote me pointing this out) mistakenly attribute to Robert Heinlein.”

    This is incorrect. The term dates back to the 40’s, at least, and Heinlein popularized it in 1966 with the Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Pournelle’s first novel wasn’t published until 1969. Neither man “coined” it, though 🙂

    Now, back to reading your site!

    Their link to cherryh.com in the interview is broken – you should ask them to fix it.

    More than two B’s, or not two B’s. (Yes, shameless.) Seishi the Philosopher, a?

    The interview was quite good. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be checking their site from time to time.

    Heh, a link to Closed-Circle.net would also be good.
