"Does reading through all these Internet discussions of your work,
speculations, and analyses help you not only generate ideas but maintain a
higher level of cohesion and complexity in the saga?"

of ANYdamnthing among the netizens out there. Which is the good thing
about all this; no two people see the same show.

But from this end, the story is the story is the story.
