Jeff, you didn't really believe Hugh Jansic's ridiculous fabrication about Kate Bush, did you? Maybe you didn't, but are just being too subtle for me. In any case, I would like to point out that Hugh Jansic's story is only a creation of his own disturbed mind, and then point out a few things about Hugh that may lead you to eventually forgive him. The fact that Kate Bush has lived in England all her life and there is no such thing as "high school" in England (it is called "grammar school"), and that Kate Bush's nickname is Katie (as in K.T. Bush Band), not Binky should have given away that there is something wrong with this story. Also, the fact that Kate Bush is sometimes criticized as being "too nice" might lead us to believe that Binky is not quite Kate Bush's character. Why did Hugh feel it necessary to post such slander? Well, you see, Hugh has some psychological problems caused by severe traumas that have occurred in his life. I usually wouldn't feel it appropriate to discuss someone's personal problems in a public forum, but perhaps if you understand Hugh's problems, you might forgive him. Hugh was born as one of a pair of Siamese twins. At the time, it was deemed too dangerous to try and separate them, so Hugh was attached to his brother Billy for many years. Unfortunately, when they were entering puberty, Billy developed an identity crisis and thought he was female. He renamed himself "Kate". Hugh's family put up with this, until one day, their mother stumbled in upon Hugh and Billy while they were engaged in an incestuous activity. Mrs. Jansic was very upset and decided to have them separated, no matter what the risk. Unfortunately Billy died shortly after the operation that separated Hugh and Billy. Hugh was devistated by this and he was never able to forgive his loving "sister" "Kate" for leaving him. He has now psychotically transfered his feelings of rejection and his own feelings of guilt onto all people with the name "Kate", especially famous people. He will stop at nothing to defame Kate Bush, Kate McGarrigle, Kate Jackson, Catherine Hepburn, the author of the "Cathy" comic strip, etc. He even hates cats, because "cat" sounds like "Kate" and is terrified of kites. Knowing the story of Hugh Jansic's life, one cannot help but feel sorry for him, and one should not respond to his actions to harshly. The club called "fun-people", which is an organization at Princeton for computer hackers who were born without genitals, even let him into their club, even though Hugh has genitals, becasue they felt sorry for him. Your condolances for any of these people may be sent to princeton!down!fun-people. -Doug Alan nessus@mit-eddie.UUCP nessus@mit-eddie.ARPA "Well, whenever I see I see the news it's the same old depressing things. Wars, hostages, and people's arms hanging off with all the tendons hanging out, y'know. So I tend not to watch it much. I prefer to go and see a movie or something where it's put much more poetically. People getting their heads blown off in slow motion, very beautifully." -- Kate Bush
