hello there, pc (if i may take the liberty of shortening your call sign: you will, i hope, inform me if you object)...i had been following this and other threads to which ``fires'' has shared his thoughts on so many subjects, most interestingly the notion that numerous doppelgangers were among the crowd here. after reading a most succinct dissection of one of ``fires'' posts by Larry Hoover. i felt compelled to join the party, as i am truly befuddled by the frequency of posts attributed to ``fires:'' might ``fires'' actually be several people posting as one? and despite statements made by ``fires'' to the effect that he will not return to this forum, ``fires'' reappears nonetheless. like Colonal Cathcart in Joseph Heller's ``Catch-22'' - who found himself vexed by the possibility that several Yossarians were mucking things up - i, in an analogous manner, am pondering if there is more than one ``fires,'' after all. they do seem to come and go, and leave cryptic messages. on the other hand, this ``fires'' has littered the board in such a way that even the most reluctant of us are drawn to him (them?). i also note that ``fires'' is keen to discuss ``multiple ids:'' perchance, have i been mistakenly reading ``ids'' as an abbreviation for ``identifiers,'' or ``i.d.s'' when in fact ``fires'' is referring to the id? as i have not found any references to multiple egos or multiple superegos, i am somewhat wary in pursuing this train of thought, yet i do entertain it: what if ``fires'' in subconsciously (or even consciously) alluding to the real possibility that ``fires'' is, in truth, multiple selves? that would be quite clever. all the best, chemist
