I hate to keep carping on this, but... Paarfi may not necessarily have his facts straight. While Vlad may be unreliable, I still don't see Zerika and Morrolan and Sethra just agreeing to be interviewed by this fellow. As an example, allow me to quote an earlier message: Damien Sullivan wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2003 at 04:40:31PM -0500, Alexx S Kay wrote: > > >>Completely? Of course not!

Morrolan's statement in Taltos sounds to me more like an offhand aside, and I can't see Morrolan taking the trouble to lie about this to Vlad. I can, of course, see Vlad misremembering what Morrolan said. *sigh* Jose -- Jose Marquez | Never settle with words jhereg69 at earthlink.net | what you can resolve http://home.earthlink.net/~jhereg69 | with a flame thrower.
