I've only read it once through, and I know there are a few points where I could quibble (as could we all, contentious group that we are) but I think it's beautifully done, and--sorry, mantis--rather a triumph of un-mantic exposition. A Great Job. Seriously. Back to Ron and the putative FAQ. Ron, since you have mentioned my doubts on this, could I ask you to please publish here Donn's original Mysteries posting? Plus mantis's (again, same as you emailed me). I think we need more input from others. I'd like to say that I think Donn struck an awfully good note or tone with his Mysteries (1992) and though we've gone far beyond these, of course, we might try to stick to that tone in expanding it. The mantis precis is a wonderful guide for a FAQ, actually. It shies from literal answers, just as I do--you who want the answers out flat need to deal with that. -alga *More Wolfe info & archive of this list at http://www.urth.net/urth/
