[davemarc]

Nice cybersleuthing, Tom!  Now, if we can just establish that young Andrew
is young, an Andrew, and actually typed "writer list serve" or its

BTW, something like voyeur.mckinley.com/voyeur.cgi#voyeur?l lets you look
in on Magellan search requests almost as they occur.  (Info from Hillary
Rosner in the Village Voice.)
