I think we should applaud Cecilia for not reacting to Scotties (his name
sounds like tissues, don't you all think?) sarcasm, or maybe Cecilias
sarcasm BACK was so subtle that it has escaped us entirely. It sure has me.
Although I agree with Scott (eeh, does he really say this?) in that Cecilia
reads tooooo much into "Zooey", her manner of replying, her care in
explaining about the Occam-thingee, is 'environmental' to us all.
Chapeau!

It's called an umlaut, and if you don't have the ability to do it on
your keyboard, in most cases, you can write it as an "oe", i.e.
doeppelganger.

I think it's a mistake to try to apply any one, simple answer to
anything our man in Cornish has written. Yes, it's possible that
there's a Biblical element in it, I'd say even probable, given the
nature of these stories. However, I don't know that there's a Biblical
element in all of them, or if there is, it's to mask a more Eastern set
of beliefs.
Regards,
Cecilia.
