As a matter of historical fact, not anyone's opinion, those burned as
"witches" at Salem in 1692, three of whom were my
several-times-great-grandmother and her two sisters, were nothing of the
kind. 

Any of you who frequent rec.music.industrial should be familiar with the 
"what does KMFDM stand for?" thread, which annoys the hell out of 
everyone. This thread is a similarly idiotic discussion, as it serves 
only to obscure the real issue: What is Kate? Kate is a _musician_....
 
Go ahead and flame me. This thread is stupid and I wish it would die. I
will not post to it again, I promise.
