the editing problems shared by JS and CK", I confess that I cannot
understand where these shared problems lie."

MR: My understanding of Carolyn's post: John Shade incorporates his "note
for further use" into his poem, even though it doesn't really fit with the
poem and is more apt as a marginal notation. Similarly, though not exactly
in the same way, Kinbote leaves notes to his editor in the text of the
Foreword when they clearly should not be there. In a sense, then, JS and
CK share that trait. I thought it a clever observation, if not definitive.
