You survived. I never survived it.* I wanted to like it.* I
  really wanted to like it.* But.. it's just too.. .doom + gloom.*
  I... also didn't care much for Dune.* Never survived that
  either... but I have friends who were huge fans of both and I
  just had to nod my head and smile agreeingly and listen
  politely.* I never interrupt the True Fan... unless I'm one too
  :P
