if the slashes in the book are the slashes on bobs post, those are forward slashes.

also I like scifi with weird terminology, though I havent gotten into reading this book yet. Though I would never have made it through DUNE, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Sun Diver, and other scifi books.

I think angels cup power energy thingy is using too much metaphor where it isn't needed. Unfortunately what I'm reading here doesn't bring this novel up any on my read list, its stuck firmly in the middle
