Joe,
The term "Etceterini" seems most likely either coined by either Jarl deBoer or
Stu Schaller. In either case, Stu was certainly one of the first people to use it.
Stu doesn't seem to have many friends on the Digest. None the less, he is one
of the most knowledgeable men on the subject of Etceterinis in the country.
(Granted, it's a subject few people care much about....)
i don't really know Stu, but he ought to be given the benefit of the doubt
until we know a bit more. what is described sounds like it might be
accidental (unfortunate for Tina, but not intentional.)
i'd also like to point out that while Stu is not, as i recall, particularly
inclined to litigation, these sorts of unrestrained conversations about
people sometimes generate letters from lawyers, upon which i have
to pay a couple of hundred dollars to a lawyer to explain to their
lawyer why krusty-motorsports/digest.net is protected by federal law.
i'm not trying to suppress conversation here, but asking for a modicum
of discretion.
