I'm not going to make line by line specific C&C -- somehow, I think that doing
that would really spam the list, and might take me longer than a day. :)

For something that took me six months to write?  I can well imagine.  ^_^

Bert, Bert....  I distinctly remember having a conversation with you *before
Christmas* about whether or not you would be able to finish BGZ 9 before the
end of the year.  (for the curious, Bert said at that time that he was going
to try.  Give him a break - he was only 7 months late <g>)

1.  In this story, I noticed that Bert tends to use colors to describe
people (hair and eye color), and hardsuits.  This is probably a warning of
"this stands out -- perhaps it shouldn't, but it just might be me". 

Well, one of the reasons I use that is something I read or picked up
somewhere long ago...use as many different adjectives to describe
someone/thing as you can.  Giving their name a workout instead of using
different adjectives has much the same effect.  However, you're also not the
first person to mention this (right Jeanne? ;)  ) 

I have absolutely *no* idea what you are talking about, oh King of Broken
Ribs ;)
