RE: [HOE] Sacremento

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

Good question, followed by good points.  I add these:  If you were a major
city with all your working parts intact, would you want every waster that
could walk heading your way?  (Doesn't explain the lack of published
material, but does give a little reason to Librarian secrecy -- don't have
my books either, tho.)  And maybe Librarians were supposed to get their own
sourcebook, which may still be planned or got shelved due to other things
happening.  I have no inside knowledge or any of that, I'm just making up
stuff now, but it would explain why Sacramento isn't gone into detail
anywhere else.  They (Librarians) may even play a big part in the "Mystery
Book" and/or Lost Colony.

I imagine it must drive Shane and crew nuts trying to pick and choose book
topics when they have soooo many interesting things they could write about!
