Jim, give up the idea of pretending you're Salinger with a Yahoo address.
"jerrysalinger", "jdsalinger", "jeromesalinger", etc... are not available;
someone (who?) uses them. Maybe it's Jerry himself, trying to prevent people
from acting like they were him. The guy is paranoid. As if someone would try
to do that???? :)
