Subject: (urth) I recant. but I wasn't REALLY wrong

Mr. Wolfe has weighed in.  I don't know if I can even post about short sun 
anymore.
I know the truth now :(

Gene Wolfe is far trickier than any of us could ever possibly imagine.  Ever.  
No one was right - all your reasons for Urth not being Blue AREN'T valid ones.
 There IS one valid reason it probably isn't Blue.  I don't know what to do.

In regards to Urth in the old New Sun book, there ARE sentient trees on it!  
:)  Maybe even cannibal trees. That's all I'm going to say.  Good fishing.  
Holy crap.  How could one man be so damned brilliant?!!! Merry Christmas, Marc 
Aramini.  Be careful what you ask for - you might get it. :(
Just remember that I wasn't really, really wrong.  Just kind of.  But not 
really.  I don't know what to tell you.  If anyone else comes up with the 
"solution" of the text independently, I will start posting again about Short 
Sun.
