            Come on now! Are you going to tell me that No.2 gave a signal when
she saw No.6 entering his bathroom that the water should be turned back on?
That seems very far-fetched to me. I guess you could call me a surrealist
when it comes to The Prisoner.  I think that there was no physical reason for
the water going back on at that time.  It was done merely for effect, that is,
to make us go "ooooooooh!".

          Yes, there are those who enjoy reading it, but I don't think it
is justified any longer to be posted to hundreds of machines. So far, I have
received only TWO requests to be put on the mailing list.  I will keep waiting,
though, and if I receive a truly great number more, then maybe we should keep
this on the net. But don't hold your breath.  USENET is becoming bogged down
under the weight of the volume of news posted. I think we can do it a service
by eliminating some of that. Every little bit helps.

>Never give a gun to duck.

       BTW, true Kliban fans know that the correct quote is "Never give a gun
to duck*s*"  :-)   Be seeing you.
