I hereby retract my statements regarding Mark Ethan Smith, as I
have been informed by very reliable sources that:

a) I missed the earlier discussion where it was mentioned that MES
*is* her legal name, as changed by her, and

b) Mark Ethan Smith is alive and well and a Real (tm) person;
not someone else masquerading.

Aside to Jef Pokanzer (sp?): Sometimes insinuations are more fun than
the real thing.  Sorry you didn't think so.  As it was I generated the
responses I needed to re-evaluate the whole situation without angering
and possibly embarrassing an innocent person by naming them.
