Uh-oh. Let me hasten to assure any and all that I have absolutely no
reference to Amy at all. Anything I write about here is personal
experience. In fact, trying to go back and search out where the
knitting example originated, it was a very early meeting of NerdNosh,
when we were a local organization, and one of our members belonged to a
knitting list (possibly Amy's!) which was my very first experience of a
successful operation, for they had TWO THOUSAND members, an ungodly
number way back when.

Amazing coincidence. But, like I say, my samples are taken from my own
pot, even though they are eclectic - I don't think I've ever met a
knitting Libertarian!
And I agreed after a conversation maybe fifteen years ago with one of
the local charter members of that faith that I should perhaps use the
small `l' to describe the broily boys who feel put upon because daddy
took the T-Bird away.
Being from a small town, I find these wires offer coincidence of a
degree I never could've imagined. My most amazing was, back in the time
when we did fiction as well as non- in NerdNosh, there was a continuing
story, and in there I used a phantom mailing list called BIBLIO, which
involved an examination of ancient texts, in keeping with the story
line.
It was only weeks from then until the time I read in NEW LISTS about an
actual forum formed for just that purpose with precisely that name. I
could never discover any connection between anyone on NerdNosh and the
origin of BIBLIO. Remains a mystery to this day.
And I'll bet the owner of BIBLIO is reading this...
