pnh@panix.comNow, which one do you suppose writes Electrolite? And which one do you suppose writes Making Light?
tnh@panix.com
Hint: try looking at the top of each of those web pages.
Why are so many people suddenly sending me email obviously meant for Teresa’s weblog? Poor reading skills? Cognitive impairment? Or just niacin deficiency? [04:38 PM]
Simple absentmindedness?
Please don't get scared off. The comments are the best part of my weblog.
Do the mistakes all go one way? Does Teresa ever get mail for Electrolite?
Maybe exposure to words like pterosaur has convinced large numbers of people that the letters p and t are interchangeable.
Rats, Avram, you beat me to it. I assumed the P stood for Pteresa, which is of course Anglicized from Pterese, meaning 'wingful' or 'the language of wings'.
Oops, I goofed. 'Pterese' can't mean 'wingful'; that would be 'pterose'. Which also sounds like a sugar found in wings (presumably barbecued or with duck sauce).
OK, , at least for the mo.
