Subject: (urth) sorry - relic from the hand of God

Sorry my previous message was so infuriating.  There was no interview, there 
is nothing to cut and paste.  On the back of the Christmas card that Mr. Wolfe 
sent me, he scrawled a few personal words that answered one of my questions.  
Very disturbing words that I feel it would be a betrayal to share with the 
online community.  
I guess I bugged Wolfe too much for a year (or maybe I am one of his favorite 
people - I don't know).  The last thing I want to do is have a bunch of 
posters bothering Mr. Wolfe with the same question, so I am going to go back 
to the books and look for solid evidence to present and see if I can get 
someone else to come to the same conclusion.  What would you do, if you feel 
that saying something (and online even?!) would be betraying your only true 
hero in the world?  I know he only told me what he did because I asked EXACTLY 
the right question.  It feels like one of those Catch 22 positions, and I'm 
not sure I like it.
I feel like an unworthy sot who has been given a relic like a whole skeleton 
of Christ.  Give me a little time to look over the books over my Christmas 
vacation.  I think Mr. Wolfe likes his privacy and his mystery, and I have no 
idea why he decided to answer me, except that I was getting close (but oh so 
far).  I will respond to a few posters individually. All I ask is that you 
please, please, please don't bother Mr. Wolfe and make him mad at me.  Please.
 I beg you.  The letters I share with him are the most special part of my life 
now, and I don't ever want him to be mad at me and stop writing.
