James,
In this reading of SS I've been looking for NeighberHorn clues, and just
don't find anything at all that seems viable.  It's a nifty theory, but it
just seems to be a huge stretch to me, and I've been trying to pay close
attention.

Have you gone back and reread it lately to look for more evidence?  I'd be
interested to follow that.
