Sorry, William Ansley! This message was written by Michael (Rostrum)...I thought I was replying to you! Many apologies!!! "We have some data to consider the question. Severian repeats several stories not of his own invention. Do they show any of the same idiosyncrasies as Severian's narrative?" Of course, everything I said still stands. Just consider it an opinion addressed to whom it may concern. Daniel
