        I can't remember if he sent that article to the list, or if he sent it
to me because I specifically asked him for all of the stuff he had
written which pertained to the unhuman wars, but I too have read Adam's
article on the porcupine, and I must agree with Paul. Before reading his
article I liked the porcupine, but I wondered how the goblins could have
been a credible menace using them, since the cost of helms would prevent
the goblins from having overwhelming numerical superiority (which is the
only way they could be a threat using ships like these!). I also
wondered why a single design (particularly one as distinctive, and yet
inefficient as the porcupine) would see such prevalence amongst the
widely disparate goblins. Adam's article addressed both of these
problems in ways that made sense.
