Tossing horses at the wall to see what pricks

<<The speculations of MalignD ... remind us that it is
not the reader's part to recapture the author's
original emotions and state of mind. >>

Please point out where I've sought to do that.  What
I've said most recently is that IF P were evoking
9/11, as others have insisted, the metaphor of
dropping bombs seems to me inapt.  I've never said he
was evoking 9/11; in fact I think he is not.  Nor have
I insisted upon any other reading.  I've tried
continually to stick to the text, to what is there and
what is not and what, amongst the various things that
come to a reader's mind, can fairly be described as
the author's by intent.  Very little, usually.  

I've offered opinions, certainly.  But I havent
insisted that those opinions were P's as well or were
based on what was in his mind while writing the Intro
or what he "obviously" intended.
