    Recently, this newsgroup has seen speculation that Don Black,  David
Bottom  and  Ken Arndt are one and the same.  I vigorously disagree with
that proposition, and claim that:
	Don Black is Don Black playing tennis with an invisible opponent.
	Ken Arndt is not Don Black, and not himself either.
	David Bottom is David Bottom at least twice, not the same.

    Don Black sends me courteous and idealistic private mail  (usually),
but  his  public postings reflect neither courtesy nor ideals, nor trace
of reality.  I have already stated I consider him a KGB  plant  sent  to
make  us  complaisant to Soviet wishes, in particular wrt Middle Eastern
affairs.  His private mailings seem an  attempt  to  counterbalance  his
fire-eating  public  image,  though I have never requested such balance.
Hence playing tennis with his invisible Other.

    Ken  Arndt is fun when not schlaging Leute tod.  Hence he is not Don
Black.  I can't reach his mailbox and he hasn't posted here in a  while,
so I guess he's not himself these days.

    David  Bottom  is  agrammatic and dyslexic when flaming me.  He also
utters indirect threats ("Planned your vacation yet?")  He is  far  more
acceptable  when defending himself and the Blackian ideals of Freedom Of
Speech Subsidized By DEC, at least from  the  orthographic  and  logical
viewpoints.  Perhaps he is the father of a paranoid, dyslexic child, who
writes the articles anent "those who attack Don Black," and  takes  over
the  keyboard  himself  when it's time to answer direct mail.  Who knows
how many other people he is.

    Isn't sociology fun in the computer age?

    Reminder:  CJFOTOW meeting Sunday 2200  GMT,  my  house.   The  main
entrance tunnel was bombed recently, use alternate routes.
