An impression given off by their choice of graphic design. At twelve or thirteen Baen.com and their books would have drawn me like a fly to decomposing meat, but at 34 it all feels a little old-fashioned and somewhat creepy. Creepier still when you see some of the gun-toting quasi-fascistic covers of Ringo and his ilk.

A touch, a definite touch!
At almost 60 I find the draw quite ,err, palatable. Perhaps that's why I'm still single.
Ah well, I have never claimed to be an adult, not even when I was 13 going on 100.
