   Jorn's contributions were a paraphrase of *Ron Hill's* original work,
which Ron had the generosity and grace to contribute freely to the
knowledge of all Kate fans. The only part that Jorn contributed that
remains essentially the same is the "Yes, she is a fox" bit, that I have
always considered sexist. Uli, please lose it.

   The FAQ is a list of Frequently Asked Questions. The reason that such
lists are *possible* is that correct, consise *answers* exist. There are
a limited number of ways that common knowledge can be phrased without
cost to the information.

   I am one of the people that Jorn accuses of "totalitarianism." 
*Jorn* is the one trying to impose his will upon the group, and limit
information. I, whatever my faults, have always done my best to share
my knowledge and encourage others to share Kate-related information.
Who is the totalitarian?

   Jorn *has* made valuable contributions to love-hounds; the "Cap
Project" and his work deciphering the original lyrics to _The
Sensual World_. These (and others) remain worthwhile contributions
to our collective understanding of Kate's work. Like Timothy Leary's
early work, it remains good long after it's creators mind has gone.
