If the > consenses is that speculation is more fun, however, I can understand that. That depends. Will it ever be a plot point? Or is it just trivia either way? It seems to me that speculation is fun primarily when there is a continuing structure of evidence to support one view or the other, and the challenge is finding the evidence and putting it together properly. If you're working with Devera mainly as a "Oh, where can I put Devera in this book?" thing, sure, spill. OTOH, if Devera is going to be a major character in some future book, then it can wait. -- Matthew Hunter (matthew at infodancer.org) Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Politics: http://www.triggerfinger.org/index.jsp
