somebody else besides pynchonoid cares about that, then...

I switched to Pine on speakeasy's server (even though they've been
bought by Best Buy, they're still a cool provider: one phone call and
I had telnet/ssh access to the mailserver)
to alleviate that, because even text mode on their web mail
adds a lot of &bnsp crap (I noticed when reading my posts in the archive)

however, when pressed for time I sometimes drop back to the webmail,
or sometimes out of laziness/cussedness

seems to me there was somewhat of a kerfuffle about that...
that's a cloud of dust I don't want to raise...
suffice it to say, I think he was not quite old enough to
be the subject of that photo at that time

and, I guess I could have reserached my question too
rather than asking here - ie, was photo debunked -
but you know how much disinfo there is on the web (;
 and what I really was after, was whether a consensus has been arrived
at here on the p-list
and, ok, maybe a bit of poo-stirring...
