A few questions and comments:
	1. First off, I agree that with you that the term "goof up" wasn't
	quite an accurate description of how Shakespeare did "Macbeth".  He had his
	artistic reasons for changing the story (plus, James I was a descendant of
	Duncan and Canmore, so Will obviously had to whitewash those two in order to get
	the play staged :).  I was just speaking informally.  At any rate, thanks
	for answering my question about how accurate Malory's version of Arthur's
	reign was in the Gargoyles Universe.
	2. Why was Oberon so upset about the scorn that his "Children" felt
	towards humans that he banished them from Avalon for a thousand years?  He
	showed a LOT of scorn towards humans himself in both "Ill Met By Moonlight" and
	"The Gathering".
	3. Does the non-interference edict forbid Oberon's Children to meddle
	in the lives of gargoyles, or does it just extend towards humans?
	4. Where (generally speaking) do you see the cave where the two
	archaeologists found Merlin's Scrolls in "A Lighthouse in the Sea of
	Time"?
	5. What places do you see King Arthur and Griff visiting on their
	quest for Merlin?
	6. What inspired the idea of the head of the Illuminati Society being
	a friend of Arthur's?  (If answering this question would give away
	Duval's true identity, please ignore it).
	7. How involved in the day-to-day work of the Illuminati is Mr. Duval,
	in your opinion?  (I'm asking this because I can't help wondering how
	appropriate it is for the Fisher King - which you said that Duval was
	- to be involved in such things as working with organized crime, running
	the Hotel Cabal, or funding the Quarrymen.  It strikes me as a real
	conflict of interests).
1. You're welcome.
	2.  Everything's relative, and besides, Oberon isn't exactly a
	model of self-analysis.
3. Mortals includes humans and gargoyles.
4. Wales.
	5.  Some obvious ones.  Stonehenge, Tintagel, etc.  Some less
	obvious.  South Pole, for example.
	6.  Mostly it came out of some long term thoughts I have always
	had about which members of the "original cast" of Arthurian Mythology
	would still be alive in the twentieth century.  I came up with seven
	names, including Arthur, Merlin and the Lady of the Lake.  In thinking
	about what would have happened to these seven individuals during the
	intervening years, it became clear to me that the Fisher King could very
	easily have brought the Illuminati into existence.  It just seemed
	right.
	Let's have another contest.  The first person to post -- here at
	Ask Greg -- a list of all seven individuals from Arthurian Legend who I
	believe have in some way survived into the late twentieth century will
	receive... absolutely nothing, accept an acknowledgement of correctness.
	Post seven names.  I won't give anymore hints.  (Heck, I've given you
	three out of the seven names one paragraph up.)  If you don't get ALL
	seven names correct, I'll just tell you that you blew it, and I won't
	say which names are right and which are wrong.  (Todd, I'm expecting
	great things from you.)  Have fun.
	7.  Well, to analyze conflicts of interest you need a clear
	sense of an individuals goals and methods.  I don't think I've given you
	either.  I'd say there's very little the Illuminati does that Duval is
	unaware of, but that doesn't mean he micro-manages everything. (GDW / 4-20-98)
