Secondly, I am not a typist, so\nI can't jot off rapid replies like Mr. Ansley <g> , and I'm a little\noverwhelmed by the volume, as I subscribe to the daily digest, not the\nindividual messages, which makes it hard to cut-and-paste and still maintain\nattributions. Also, I don't get the digest until the wee sma' hours, as I am\ntwo hours later than the west-coast mailings.\n\n    That said, I would like to thank Mr. Millman for his welcome. And \"Roy\"\nwill do.\n\n    To Mr. Ansley: First, you are correct about my assumption re. the\nalphabetical nature of roll calls, as I, personally, have never experienced\nthem to be otherwise. Perhaps the fact that the Ws were at the top of the\nstairway, rather than the bottom, is suggestive of an alternate ordering\nconvention. (Or maybe Wolfe was just making a not-so-subtle evaluation of\nhis work!) <g> At any rate, as I said in my previous post, it is a small\npoint, not worth the argument. Finally, my wife said that you are probably\nright, and I am probably wrong about the roll call. I concede. Will that\nsuffice? Besides, it is stated somewhere in the archives that Wolfe is\npurported to have stated explicitly that the narrator's name is \"Wolfe\", and\nit would make no sense for his first name to be other than \"Gene\".\n\nRoy"
