I have a tendancy to disagree with this particular comment in that I read a
very  good book a while back, that involved a species of higher technological
capabilities that were running from an explosion in the galactic core and,
thier fleet was primarily made up of their own planets.  They also took the
earth with them( I don't want to give too many details in case you haven't
read the book).  Also if your are familiar with "known space" check back and
see why and how the puppeteers left our galaxy.

Your other comments were very well done.

Write e-mail if you want the title to the book mentioned above as I will
have to look it up.  References to "known space" can be given but those 
too I will have to look up.
