V Period, dammit!

Andrew Dinn asks:
"I have always wondered how one should pronounce the title (things are
confused by the fact in Britain that we say "V full stop" and this
confusion is compounded by the tendency for the computer (il)literate
to pronounce it "V dot" or maybe even a telegraphic rendering as in "V
stop"). Is the `.' a red herring meant to mislead the Stencils of this
world into searching for the V behind the abbreviation? Is a "V period"
what we are going through now? Is it preceded and/or succeeded by an
opposite period? Is it the end of the line, a fall back to earth? Or
is it period as in period of oscillation? (looks like I am back to ups
and downs vs round and rounds again)."

It's very simple, really.  The two lines that make a "V" are the two main
narrative lines (Profane and Stencil) that converge at Malta.  The period
is the Epilogue.
