And then I have to add that I had exactly the same association with
Huxley's "Eyeless in Gaza", and in fact mentioned that right here in
r.m.gaffa a year or three ago.  I also agree with Greg that any true
connection is unlikely.

should not be interpreted in any way as part of the effort to reheat
that tired debate.
