What's your Vironese name?
I made a deal with you, alga, and I intend to honor it. But I also feel the need to speak up for the many subscribers of this list who still continue to use their real names. You may fault them ( and me)...
I am reminded of The Thurb Revolution where the differences between Realists and Nominalists is discussed. WRT Dante, I have previously commented on the quote from Shea's Inferno (he never got around to the other places...) in UotNS.
