[edit] Moriarty
I don't understand this part:
- making Arthur Conan Doyle himself the first of many writers to ignore the fact, established in "The Final Problem", that Dr. Watson first heard of Moriarty shortly before Moriarty's death, with no unrecorded adventures in between.

- In "The Final Problem", Watson learns of Moriarty's existence for the first time; later, with no gaps in the narrative, Moriarty is killed. There are therefore no gaps in which further Holmes vs. Moriarty adventures can take place (or at least, none in which Watson is involved). This has not stopped people from writing such adventures. The Final Problem is one such adventure, possibly the first.
- Which bit didn't you understand? (And can you suggest a better wording for it?) --Paul A 08:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
