Are people sure that Hitomi wrote this?

*sigh* And is there a secret UN plot to take over the country, and does
Tybalt fly the black helecopters, and is Elvis still alive?

	<horribly SHOCKED look>

	You mean Tybalt DOESN'T have a secret fleet of black helicopters used to 
police the mailing list with? Then who were those pilots I invited in for a 
sandwich last night?

	And I saw Elvis at the 7-11 last week. Honest! ^_^

The story was posted by Nick Leifker, who is A) A friend of Hitomi's, and
B) Not at all the sort of person who would write a story and then slap
Hitomi's name on it for some unknowable reason.

	This was written by Hitomi, Jennifer.. I've been pre-reading for Hitomi 
for some time now. It's her work. I watched it evolve through draft version 
after draft version.

So yes, it was written by Hitomi. Next time, consider checking privately
before throwing around accusations.

	Not to sound harsh here, but the existance of this mailing list depends,
at least in part, on a certain level of trust. It's altogether too easy to 
start a witchhunt on the net, even among a group of otherwise easy-going 
anime fans like us. Like Mike says.. ask around privately first, before 
taking it to the list. It's safer, and helps keep us together as friends, 
and the mailing list flowing smoothly.
