Quite apart from the point that I don't think this is an appropriate forum
for a purely literary investigation of John 21, Steve's post poses at the
end a question that has been recurring insistently in my mind since I first
noticed the signature some time ago. Could you enlighten us very briefly
(without initiating a thread, that is!) about how you got to Siberia and
what you're doing there. I know so little about Siberia and almost all that
I HAVE heard or read has to do with its being Hades on the surface of the
earth, a place which those in control of it choose to make their most
notorious penal colony.  So what ARE you doing there and how did you get
there?
