Subject: Is Reitwiesner [alias "The Rott"] Holding Out On Us?
Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 13:44:05 -1000


"...I'm lacking just five of the 64 names in the 64-127 generation in my own
version of the Princess Diana Ahnenreihe (and I have likely candidates for
two of those names)."

William Addams Reitwiesner 2 Jan 1998

1. Hmmmm, something doesn't quite compute here. Is the "Rott" mixing up
the ones and zeros on us?

2. He implies he has all but five of the 127 names in Diana's
*soixante-quatre quartiers Ahnenreihe.*

3. But Yvonne used his file folder in the LOC to fill us in and we are still
missing 10 names.

4. So is "Rott" [1] holding out on us [2] forgotten to update his folder
in the LOC [3] discovered five new ones, and two more possibles, but want
to publish first [a genuinely legitimate excuse, so long as he doesn't pull
a Douglas Richardson on us and take 10 years] [4] or did Yvonne have an
old copy of the file folder [5] or variants of the above [6] or none of
the above?

5. Please enlighten us "Rott" and Yvonne.

Cheers,

"I know that most men --- not only those considered clever, but even those
who really are clever and capable of understanding the most difficult
scientific, mathematical or philosophic problems, can seldom discern even
the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit
the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with great
difficulty --- conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught
to others, and on which they have built their lives."
