Please do get them from the archive! I don't remember what I wrote, and
it's quite disconcerting when people refer to conversations that had
with you that you don't recall in the slightest.
I think I have an *idea* of what you're talking about, and if I was in
my right mind, I didn't call Teddy a whiner at *all*. I remember saying
that it was possible to read Teddy's accurate hypothetical account of
his death as a sort of subconscious cry for help, but I myself don't
read it that way. I don't remember what I said about Seymour at all.
Whatever I did say, I disclaim it entirely. The past is the past, and
I'm not willing to stand by it.
