You're right, Judith, this person ("Willis N. Churnocht") doesn't seem
to exist, at least not in the ways most academics do (e.g., with a
documentable position at a university, or even findable through a Google
search). His email address ([log in to unmask]) is also not traceable
through that method. This raises the question of what the status of
fictional individuals (otherwise known as trolls) should be on listservs
like this. Is there any expectation that list participants at least use
their real names?
