I think she does it simply because (A) the Czar started the tradition, and (B) there's no byline in the print edition, so it helps the reader to know who the author is (even if she's anonymous).
But she really doesn't mind people knowing who she is (as evidenced by the automatic e-mail return address). It would be far easier to use her own name - so people realize she's only one writer/editor doing all that - it's not some actual Empire she has under her. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ellen Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 3:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wc] Style Invitational ah so he did. Enough with this "I'm on very close terms with the czar" BS already. Although I guess it's a non-issue at this point. But PtheP is still fond of saying, "I was helping the Empress go through the SI entries..." So she still likes to play along occasionally.
