   Sorry if I went too far. I was a bit taken aback by the long
geocities post that was linked here,which to me had a rather
Dostoyevskian flavor.   Then, too, all this time I had thought Luther
Blissett was an actual individual person, British, etc. So,as one not in
on the joke, or project, or whatever you like to call it, I felt that my
sense of reality had been toyed with.  Perhaps that is one of the points
of the Luther Blissett project?
  While on the subject of flaming etc, however, i just want to say that
I did not raise the question of the *Zaps* connection with the Catholic
church.  I raised the question of American leftist nonbelievers carrying
crosses in a NYC demonstration. Those are different, if related, issues.
  Peace,
  Katha
