Erni -- doesn't it occur to you that you commit hefty acts of circular 
reasoning here?

You start with the premise of the VM being related to the Divine Comedy, 
then search around until you find _any_ person, understand that the person 
is "awaking", identify him with Dante because "that's his place to be in the 
DC", and then use this for proof of your primary theory. (Regardless of the 
fact that the person on 66R seems to be dead rather than awaking, and female 
rather than a dude, and that f84R features a dozen chicks, all of the female 
kind.)

I don't mean to sound overly negative, but I am tempted to quote from 
"Murder by Death":

Sidney Wang : Very interesting theory, Mr. Charleston. However, leave out 
one important point.
Dick Charleston : What's that?
Sidney Wang : Is stupid. Is stupidest theory I ever heard.

Don't worry, I'll come up with a new theory of mine one of these days; feel 
free to shred it to pieces then!

Cheerio,
