Andy,
I am not the chauvinist in this home, Kurtz is. Could I get out of the
doghouse if I mention the Bronte sisters and Mata Hari (H21)? Three in one
family and one with consecutive pseudonyms, a more intriguing group than the
men I would say.
I can only deny your idea of denial. Hopefully you do not take it in a
negative way.

Subject: [lit-ideas] Song of Myself
I am having difficulty in following some of the threads on this list.
A.A. I can't imagine why. A thread that started out as a movie morphed into
a thread on Russian a week later and was still entitled "Movie".
J.S. Partially this is my fault since my work limits me to reviewing
postings only on occasion. I have however detected a note of confusion
concerning my pseudonym Jack Spratt and my email address. Why this is so I do
not know.
A.A. Just a quirk they have. Some mass hysteria. Don't take it personally.
J.S. It is fair to explain that due to the nature of my employment I cannot
divulge my identity.
A.A. No excuse.
J.S. However, I stand with Mark Twain, Philoktet, Cary Grant, and 265 Popes
who opted for illusion rather than boring given names. Identity is mostly fluid
on the internet from my experience and I intend to keep on swimming,
flounder-like.
A.A. Conspicuous by their absence is female writers. Are you a chauvinist,
Mr. Spratt?
J.S. Some particulars of my life are that I live and work on the Island of
the Manhattos. As another fearless New Yorker said, I am Manhattanese, friendly
and proud! (He wound up getting tarred and feathered, but that was in
uncivilized Long Island.) I live with my bulldog, Kurtz enjoying each other?s
company and composing pseudonyms. We both look forward to joining in the
conversations.
A.A. Welcome to evil Kurtz as well. Do you live in a binary world of good
and evil, Mr. Spratt? And I disagree. We do have a handy utopia. It's called
denial.
J.S.
The one thing we lack is a handy utopia.
