  ...the BBC didn't get a ward and inside info, a specific host did because of his ties to Schiller. You're quite possibly right about that specific issue. On the other hand, I can't believe that OGH isn't thinking about what's been happening with (for example) the NSA's collection of zero-days and how what used to be sooper-sekrit tech has made its way to the street, which "finds its own uses for things." If we don't see a story which involves this issue soon, I may have to commit fan-fic....

And if Bob's unreliable... it could be a combination of his attraction to/love of Mo, and the extremely serious internal changes he goes through, from...

  Nope, not gonna get fixed, ever. At least, not unless Ace revert the rights to me and I republish the book myself. As publishers outsource typesetting, fixing this sort of trivial error requires raising a work order for an outside bureau and spending several hundred dollars, not to mention the in-house time. As the book has been in print in paperback for a decade at this point and most of its sales are past, it's vanishingly unlikely that this will be considered commercially worthwhile (unless someone makes a movie or TV series of it and it's worth fixing trivia at...
