Ah, I wasn’t accusing you of anything. Just being hopeful that I might have helped in inspiring this article. Oh, well… Guess I didn’t invent the wheel after all.

Dubi, Sorry about not replying – you sent it just two days before I finished my dissertation and took time off, and I am not entirely in full work mode again yet.
But don’t worry, I’ve been working on this paper since 2001 and Caillois’s been in it all along. Me and Roger go back a long time ;)

About a month ago I sent you a paper I wrote about computer game protagonists, asking for your opinion on my text. The paper included a large reference to Callois, which I notice you now refer to in this paper of yours. Is there, mayhaps, some connection? You never did send me any comment on my paper. Which is kind of disappointing, really…
