Silent Runners

President Skinner... Was there a Skinner in the FBI, overseeing Agent Mulder's work? Or is Skinner the head of Springfield High School? Or both. Certainly a name to be reckoned with.

I was thinking of the town of Twin Peaks myself earlier today, pondering the mystery of the 'silent runners'. After her head injury, a resident spent time devising a system for silently closing and opening drapes. This always had an air of mystery about it, as if a symbol of something more important. The Eureka moment came when she had the brainwave of using cotton wool, packed onto the drape rail. The result was silent curtains. Was this related to access of the red room, the mysterious other-dimension location with curtains for walls? Does this relate to our own case?
