Because mail has been crazy since I've returned from my travels, I've
had two subscriptions going.  The one at ns.umb.edu (VAX/VMS installation)
does not give me the identity of posters (unless messages are signed);
here on cs.umb.edu (a sun network), the mailer is not so dumb and I get
that info which I find most useful.

I noticed yesterday that what I thought was a message from Karen Kay
seemed to come from someone at Brown.  I thought this strange, but let it
go.  Now it's happened again -- several messages -- all clustered together.
Here are parts of the some of the messages -- I am rather sure that all
from Karen Kay.

Message 1 from Karen at Brown

**>I want to go on record in support of Akio's linkage of ABH and Jodie Foster,
**>a linkage I think is singularly apropos.

**Why?  I am really puzzled by this.  I like them both but never linked them.
**Mostly because Jodie Foster is my height, and just very small (I used to see
**her around when she was in college), and Anne Harwell is not small in any
**sense.  Am I beng misled by reality?
**
**Karen
The above message has to be from someone who has actually met Anne Harwell,
no?  Was there another Karen at the clambake?

Another message from Karen at Brown

**I have way too many navy tshirts, and black might be too serious....  Let me
**check out the colors today. (Actually after 5PM, when I am free.)

**Karen

And we all know that it is Karen Kay who has volunteered to have the new
t-shirts made  ...

And yet another ...

**>(Don't get me started on the elimination of "tracking" in schools.

**My school *was* tracked, and I hated it--I cuoldn't take anything pragmatic
**like typing or home ec.  Let alone auto shop, which wasn't open to women
**in those days and no way would I have been first. (I've changed.)

And yet here she is at nemomus ... as we all expect

**I knew it.  I'm more interested in the other stuff, not just the fish.
**The pet shop one has several little-shop-of-horrors type things.

What is further puzzling is that there is no 'real name' after the
From: header in any of these messages that come from Brown -- very
strange indeed.  Could this have anything to do with Judith's problem?
Seems far-fetched to me, but ...

Does anyone know what is going on?

Karen, are you posting from Brown?
