I brought the topic up weeks ago, before the Malta conference. Which 
started on june 7--I don't know how quick the time flows in your 
monad, in mine it flows rather fast. Lots of things happened in the 
meantime. I say I don't have time because I have no time, and I don't 
blame anybody, I can only tell you that caffeine abuse is dangerous 
for your health. As I have already said, to answer your objections 
and suppositions I need to reread those parts of the novel, but 
that's something that takes time I do not have now--maybe next week. 
In the meantime, if this makes you feel good, you can doubt I have an 
alternative interpretation and you can also believe I am a blockhead. 
Help yourself! Who am I to hinder your pursuit of happiness?
