  granted, what i'd written was in human idiom ("he doesn't like to think
about X") when what would be more precise is, "Litheroy does not like
the implications of considering the parallels between a character in a
song he found catchy for a moment and his Servitor, who happened to
have been created while Litheroy was still humming the tune to himself."
the more precise way of saying things, as we see, obviously takes
longer; the short form was written out with the more precise form left
as understood by the list....

  this would not bother them so much, i counter, so much as the facts
that Revelation will a) disseminate these newly gathered opinions of
fellow Archangels to all points of the Symphony, b) keep asking
questions until he's told to go away or the other Archangel makes itself
unavailable for further interview, c) argue about various opinions
expressed and why they are wrong.  no, the truly vexing aspect of
Litheroy thinking about a given topic where the answer isn't already
known is that he sends angels to investigate... repeatedly.

[Jean, Litheroy, and duct tape] it's an amusing hypothesis you present,
though certainly not a happy one.  i'd like to point out that whether one
duct tapes another being's mouth shut violates the Pax Dei is relevant
data and both Archangels would be interested to note the results, i
disagree as to whether _both_ would be "pleased" with the answer.
