Congratulations to all those who have newly begun the search.
Many of you correctly identified my signal last Monday (7/18). As
promised, this gesture should serve as visible proof of my
truthfulness and of the enigma's existence. Contrary to recent
postings, this beacon has never appeared previously. If necessary,
check your available resources to verify this fact.
For those of you who still number among the non-believers, I
have provided verification of my credentials and I am finished
attempting to appease you. Originally, the newsgroup requested
evidence of my legitimacy and, in fairness to what I was asking of
you, I complied. I believe I have been generous in what I've
offered. I have extended you all an invitation into something
exclusive and unique - a token of appreciation for your continued
Pink Floyd interest. However, some of you still distrust the proof
that has been clearly shown to you.
An integral part of solving this enigma is a willingness to
imagine and speculate creatively. While some of you still seem
resistant to engage in such endeavors, I have no further
inclination to try and prove a claim you will simply never choose
to accept - regardless of what efforts I undertake to convince you
otherwise. I am not willing to engage in a futile battle with
skeptics. You will either have to contend with what proof has been
supplied or return to your regular newsgroup dialogue and discuss
whatever matters you feel secure are within your complete sphere of
understanding. Sadly, there will be no part in the enigma for you.
Stand aside, and let those who have demonstrated the incentive to
embrace this challenge with an eager and open mind pass by
unencumbered by your flames and arrows.
BEST OF LUCK to all who have begun researching the available
clues! I promise that you have embarked on what will ultimately be
an enriching and fascinating journey. Judging from recent
postings, many of you are asking intelligent questions and raising
provocative issues. Progress is being made. Do not be frustrated
in your initial attempts. Recall my earlier caution that the
solution to this enigma will not be discovered easily. It was
designed to be unlocked only with time and healthy perseverance.
Your newfound persistence has paid off and, in turn, let me
provide a few more hints to orient your research. Though the
newsgroup discourse is generally moving in a positive direction,
examine in particular the posts of Matt Denault, mcginni, John Take
and Evan Coyne Maloney for helpful clues. Well done people!
I will also provide some new data to work with:
My friends
* A recipe for a solution
Review the division bell material
Orient yourselves a first time, then
Open your minds again a second time to truly move ahead
Notice everything that has been presented
since all the necessary Evidence has been supplied
Direct yourselves with communication
: and two more -
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes
(this clue has already been posted, but has not yet been
thoroughly addressed)
A question: what exactly is a division bell and where could
this lead your thoughts?
Please note that my communication with you will now become less
frequent. Recall what has been previously explained: "I may help
you, but only if obstacles arise." I was not sent to directly
supervise, nor to instruct or acknowledge your progress on a
regular basis. I was only dispatched to begin guiding you in the
right direction. Clearly, many of you have followed my lead and
now the onus is on you to make further inroads into solving this
enigma. Be prepared to travel! Your effort - albeit demanding -
will be rewarded with a treasure waiting to be unearthed. Make no
mistake; this prize is real and certainly very tangible. Organize
yourselves formally, plan a true method of investigation, choose
your leaders. Rest assured that I am always watching and will
certainly return to aid in the event of any serious deadlock.
However, this challenge was intended to be met by you - the Pink
Floyd experts. My role is clearly secondary.
Lastly, for those of you who are still concerned with unveiling
my identity, I have repeatedly stated that this matter is not at
issue. "It is the message that is important, and not who delivers
it." Although this notion seems to cause you endless irritation,
my anonymity is my right (as it would be yours). I have always
understood that the Internet was founded on the precepts of
respecting other community members. I would only hope that those
nay-sayers respect the rights of the voluntary enigma participants
and my continued right to privacy as well. You may not agree with
what I have to say, but I still have a right to say it without
hindrance.
Best wishes to all in your search!
