I didn't take your critique as nit-picky at all. In fact, I think you picked up on some very interesting points that I hadn't considered and you articulated these points extremely well. Your follow-up message also reveals some terrific analysis and I'm also going to be looking to read the original story. I truly appreciate you comments as they are the essence of why we have the show of the week - to learn from others.

One point I didn't make in my first post has to do with E.G. Marshall's opening comments. I think this could have been one of the best introductions I've heard: "Today's tale is a story of a secret. Who among us doesn't have some skeleton in the closet....unwanted, unwished for. As an ancient proverb tells us, a secret is your slave, if you keep it...your master, if you lose it."
