   I'm flattered. Uh, Richard (I assume)...I *hope* you warned the
humorless dweebs at the American Association of Them Heavy People.

   For those tuning in late, I posted the original parody as
"tipper@pmrc.ica.fib" and the Kate fanzine Homeground printed it
without comment. Some folks in Ohio, publishing a fanzine called
"Little Light" with an independent fan club called the AATHP, actually
*TOOK IT SERIOUSLY*!! They then wrote to the PMRC complaining about
their picking on Kate. A several month flame war then ensued, with
a lot of harsh words all around.
