Thanks Bruce. I doubt they(Baconians/Oxfordians...etc.)could ever convince me, but my gosh are they passionate! I'd never read the Twain piece til a month ago and it was great fun. I'm afraid that after rejecting computers for so many years (on the grounds that I was just too damned stupid to even turn the thing on) I've become a total "net slut". I've even plowed through Virginia Woolf, so now Heather has someone to discuss her with.
