Dear akushla99,
You are one of the most fascinating posters of ATS, and the most thought provoking. Unfortunately for me, no matter how much thought your posts provoke, I can never quite understand your message.
It sounds like you're suggesting a way of finding out about Circle B, by pretending to know something about C & D. If so, that's a gutsier move than I would have thought of making. Circle B makes some sense in the same way that deciding 9 is the answer to what follows 1, 3, 5, 7. But everything I've read, with one or two tiny exceptions, declares that it's only a four-step series, there is nothing else after 7.
With respect,

Yeah, you're right. Maybe you can see why I'm torn. The first person responding said, basically, "Run, run, run, run away fast, go." And there's a lot to be said for that.
Is it worth seeing the wizard or is it better to be blind of him. That is the question.

Dear AnAbsoluteCreation,
Thank you very much, I appreciate your evaluation.

Others, including you, seem to be saying, "Go down the hole, explore, find the truth, then figure out what you're going to do."
At this point, my paranoia (which I didn't have until ATS) kicks in. I imagine all sorts of fanciful boogie-men. I can dismiss them as foolish, but they're still there. "You have been nominated to join Circle B, do you accept?" "Wait, what's this all about?" "Do you accept?" "You're not going to tell me?" "No, do you accept?"
Or, "You have accepted membership in Circle B. You must pledge obedience to (whatever) for ever, and eternal silence. You will be severely disciplined if you ever violate our rules. You know you could never hide."
Or, "Ok, now that you're in, your first test is to (do something loathsome or criminal)."
I admit freely, that my thinking is cloudy, I'm grateful to the ATS members working to clear away those clouds.
With respect,

Right, I only live once. That's why important decisions are, so, well, important.
Do you see any possible downside in jumping in full speed ahead?

Ok, then, don't send me a U2U, just tell me, based on your experience, what you would suggest as a course of action.
