Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

the comment-posting-mechanism is functional once more.


that is all.  


oh -- and may i add, i hope it stays that way. 

i had no idea it was so broken.  sheesh.  i had to hack to leave a comment myself.

my hack?  adding "?postComment.do" at the end of the address of the post at which I desired to leave a comment.  So kind of you to ask.  Excellent idea:  I'll add it to the hacks page straightaway.  Thank you and --

Be seeing you.
