Dear Ms. Forer,
We don't recall whether Allan Revich signed one of his messages as Secret Fluxus, but he is not one of us.
We have made the astonished discovery that artists in several places now claim to be members of Secret Fluxus. There is a simple way to tell who is NOT a member of Secret Fluxus. No one who claims to be a member of Secret Fluxus is one of us. The members of our little chamber orchestra are known only to one another and to a few family members who sometimes perform with us or join us in family picnics while we plan our activities.
As Lord Russell would have noted, this makes it easy to know who is NOT Secret Fluxus while making it impossible to know who IS.
We gather from the tone of Mr. Revich's communication that he does not wish anyone to mistake him for one of the four women or the four lovable moptops in our group. Of course, if we were Beatles Imitators, it would obviously leave room for a Yoko Ono Imitator in our midst. This raises a thorny issue, since we do not wish to imitate Fluxus artists. We only wish to perform their work.
Sincerely,
Secret Fluxus
(The allusion to �four lovable moptops� is a Silly Week joke. None of us is a moptop. One male has very long hair, the second is normal, our �handsome Beatle� is bald � or at least tonsured, and the solicitor looks even more normal than the normal one.)

But is or isn't Allen Revich "one of you"? Has he not at one time signed his
own messages as "Secret Fluxus"?
Or was that some or another sort of mis/appropriation?
