In Dec 2005, both Miss Glamour and Frippery were outed by someone else
in this group:

<<Miss Glamour, Super Stupid, Countess blah blah blah are all the
gentlemen who posts under the alias Mister Levity. Good job, Levity.
You get the troll-of-the-year award. >>

<<And Dwight Frippery? None other than (DUH DUH DUH)..... George
Shelps.
Not very well hidden, either. Perhaps Frippo should have changed
services from WebTV, who not only gave away his IP, but put his
settings at an unusually low letter-per-line count that it was
painfully obvious after about three second. Not sure who The Real
Dwight Frippery is, although he's obviously someone with about as
little tolerance for this nonsense as I am.>>

um I literally missed this whole thing. Been a little busy watching
the Cubs lose.
I am amazed that Miss Glamour even ran into me given the relatively
small time
I actually spent at the Kino table ( too busy watching movies etc).
Anyway I appreciate
the support. I will continue to give updates on Kino silent stuff and
if you don't want it
feel free to put me in one of those kill files.
One thing worth mentioning is that DIE PUPPE which a lot of you
complained was
not in the first batch of Lubitsch films will be released in early
December with a German
produced doc on Lubitsch ( same disc).
This note of commercial spam will undoubtedly lead to thousands of
sales and those
huge profits we get on silent films.
