Dear "cauldronbrewer":
Some years ago, information you posted on this board allowed me to identify you. I found out we seemed to have some research interests in common. As I was organizing a series of small international conferences on a certain topic, I started toying with the idea of inviting you to one of them. You would think you were there because of your prominence in the field, but in reality it would be all about the Vault. I tried to imagine your reaction once I revealed the truth to you. Or perhaps it would be even better never to reveal it at all, and simply privately enjoy how my machinations caused the world to work quite differently from how everyone else imagined. But of course I never carried out this plan; it would, after all, have been insane. Or did I? Or will I? How can you know?
Yours,
Jojo Lapin X

Chilling! Or possibly heart-warming. Or possibly funny. Maybe all of the above.
It's true that my identity is rather thinly disguised. Fortunately, the circles I travel in are small.

Yours, Jojo Lapin X This now reads to me like something from Jerzy Kosinski's first "novel," STEPS, which I recently reread. |
