And he's at Blogger, so he would have to have committed fraud to have gotten those...

...or established a different identity, which would take a little time when dealing with Google...

But neither of these are likely.

Now... Who did you say you were again?

OK, OK. The email is with AOL, who require a little something more than Hotmail does in the way of an account, and it has an actual name on it.

So this is two removes, not provided by the source himself, but at least connected with something that can be tracked down. At long last. For me. And if anyone else ever has a similar question, it will be a hunt all over again.

So now I suppose I will have to learn how to spell Jason's last name.

I understand why bloggers might want to maintain a veil of secrecy -- one might even say a chador of a doubt -- but the issue of authority remains for blogs in general.

Thank you very, very much. Really.

Incidentally, it's "potpourri". You did ask.

Regards--
Mary Anne
