Dear Kathy,
To answer Suse's letter, I wrote as an 'I' describing a 'we'. The 'we' is hardly royal. It's not even editorial I was more or less speaking of the eight of us, but writing as one who describes the thoughts and sentiments of eight.
Call me a lummox with the flummox.
On top of that, I am growing to like my non-de-plume nom-de-plume so much that I may keep it after the others grow names.
Sincerely,
The Man Without a Name

We are boiled, jellied oatmeal indeed. We nevertheless hope that there is more substance to us than flummery.
This is what is confusing. You write with a singular voice, mostly not a royal 'We', yet are theoretically eight autonomous individuals. It also lends a sense of deception, intended or not.

We have decided to use artist names, the artist equivalent of an author�s nom de plume. In this way, we can each develop a personality and style that suits us while remaining anonymous to anyone outside the group. This may not be an entirely satisfactory solution, but we think it will allow us some new approaches.
