Yes, well, someone else I know (I'll protect the name since it might be a
fellow list member) once conspired to place an announcement in their
college newspaper that JD was going to turn up and give a brief talk at, of
all places, an all-male dorm on a small, southern campus. And yes, some
people bought it, including, if I remember right, a man of the cloth.
There was much hiding involved I seem to recall. And that's all I'm
prepared to say about this at this point in time.
