   	Thank you, one and all, for the kind comments.  I suppose in the   
   interests of full disclosure I should admit I keep a beard on myself, but   
   for excellent reason; it makes me look good.  At least relatively.   
      
   	As for whether Arthur Claude Munyan is real or not ... he's posted   
   a bunch of things, generally not so amusing, to alt.fan.cecil-adams, and   
   probably other groups as well.  He's either an earnest loon or a really   
   good parody.  Biasing me towards thinking he's for real is first that he's   
   not gotten to space aliens and shaving before; if you're going to satirize   
   the kooky people on Usenet why save that stuff?  More, most attempts to   
   write a parody of a good crazy rant -- I've tried it myself -- come off   
   strained somehow; I think it's because the satirizers are too smart to   
   really believe the premise of their spoof, and the insincerity shows.  But   
   the thesis *is* bizarre, and the pacing of elements was almost perfect for   
   a MiSTing treatment, and it seemed to go out of its way to include easy   
   targets to ridicule.   
      
   	So I don't know.  If I've been taken, fine, but it was fun.
