"The way he's completely unfazed by having his sockpuppetry exposed is quite amusing."
Yes. This is what makes the entire thing strangely compelling to watch, in a 'please don't stop now' sort of way. It turns us lurkers into lurker-voyeurs.
Kristin Nelson, another blogging agent, has put up a post about it; the steamroller is rollering with ever more steam.

I have been bothered from the beginning by motives for this thing. In other words: cui bono?The smoking gun for me was the absurdly short time given AW to rescue thread files, upon which much of the value of AW rests. Perhaps Steph thought that loss of these files would help move folks away from AW. I wonder.

I have been browsing on the St. John's University site and wonder about a few things. On her website, Bauer claims to have a Ph.D. in English from that institution, and her individual picture shows her in a Ph.D. doctoral gown: I can see the dark blue velvet of the hood, which would match that degree, as do the stripes on the arms. On the other hand, I can't find her in the picture on the site with her "graduating class."
But here's the thing that's odd. The web site for the Department of English for St. John's lists the degrees offered, and they do not offer the Ph.D. -- just an MA and something called a D.A., which I've never heard of. Now, maybe St. John's offered a Ph.D. in 1979 and has dropped the program. But I wonder. Anyone in the NYC area might consider wandering over to the St. John's library to see what Bab's dissertation was about, if there is one, because the library would keep them all, even if never published.
Just a wicked thought.

FYI, I see that Miss Snark now has a post up about all of this, and her blog is HUGE in the visits that it gets -- the steamroller seems well underway. I post on AW as ColoradoGuy and have found it immensely helpful. And fun, too.
