Q: Hi Dicky, I'm wondering if the latest copy of Genii finally lays to rest the question 'who was Erdnase?'. I feel you really nailed it, and I'm looking forward to getting some sleep for the first time in 47 years.
R.S. Licker
A: The name is Richard. Richard Kaufman. Yes. We have, as you put it, 'nailed' who Erdnase was. I think the copy was fairly self explanatory. Next?
Q: Dicky, isn't there still some element of doubt as to the real identity of this maverick author and cardician?
A. N. Other
A: 'Cardician' was a term coined after the death of 'Erdnase'. I despise you. Fool. Next?
Q: Isn't this just sham academia masquerading as a real historical endeavour?
E. Gibbon
A: First, you should realise who you are talking to on this forum [sic]. The evidence was clearly and concisely laid out, in well punctuated and grammatical syntax. Need I say more? Next?
Q: Isn't this just a case of trying to drum up more business for a weak publication, already failing due to falling readership, ever increasing internet access and poor management?
J. Swift
A: J. Swift has been banned for further notice. Next?
You are so wonderful, Richard. Thank you for all your contributions to my hobby!! This Erdnase thing was so fascinating, I really thank you for such a wonderful and educative edition.
