To answer Dave's question, the interview was Gene Wolfe's and in relation to 
Long Sun / Short Sun. The list discussed how some interviewers sometimes try 
to force author's to answer their personal minute queries about a story and 
how disrespectful that may come across. It came up while discussing the 
identity of Blue, Green, Urth and whatnot. Then tFHoC was given as another 
example of how author's indications about their stories should be parsed.
