 		I like the Green E angle (Greene)....isn't that the way Sam spells his last name, or wasn't there something about it awhile ago? (Memory is getting dusty)

 		For those who are wondering where lafontaine came from:

Quote:

La Fontaine, Jean de

French poet, whose celebrated fables place him among the masters of world literature. He was born at Château-Thierry to a bourgeois family. A restless dilettante as a youth, he settled at last in Paris. His marriage (1647) terminated in 1658, and from 1673 to 1693 he lived in the household of Mme de La Sablière, one of his several patrons. La Fontaine's masterpiece is the collection of Fables choisies, mises en vers [selected fables versified] (1668–94), comprising 12 books of some 230 fables drawn largely from Aesop. Each fable is a short tale of beasts behaving like men; each serves as a comment on human behavior. Although their charm and simple facade have made them popular with children, many are sophisticated satires and serious commentaries on French society. Their wit, acumen, and brilliance of verse and narrative have assured their worldwide success; they ran into 37 editions before La Fontaine's death. Among his other works are Contes et nouvelles en vers (4 vol., 1664–74, tr. Tales and Novels in Verse, 1934), humorous and often ribald verse tales drawn from Boccaccio, Ariosto, and others. He also wrote comedies and librettos for opera, poems on classical themes, and long original poems, notably the Élégie aux nymphes de Vaux (1671), a complaint on the disgrace (1661) of his patron Fouquet.

yeah I tried that, didn't think of the whitehouse@ but I did mail house@ 7 or 8 hours ago with no bounce as yet either.

if neither of yours bounce maybe all *@greywethers.net mail is directed to greywethers.net and there has to be a specific question? or a certain person mailed at greywethers.net? can't help thinking that the E was there for a reason - greeneSPLATgreywethers.net or something similar maybe? can't see why but worth a try i s'pose.

 		just throwing out (up) another idea:

mail is next to house (is the relationship important, is it a clue to another single word?). as opposed to the blackmail/whitehouse concept (which I still prefer. just to hedge my bets)

 		Black white how to be read
if we go back to homynyms that shadowtalk has been using from time to time

there isn't much you can do with black but white can also be spelled wight: i.e. faery related.

instead of whitehouse, why not housewhite?

so going with that faery related homynym idea - Housewights are beings that take up residence in peoples homes. which also goes with the news:

The Aglaura Police have reported receiving over three dozen calls this week from residents complaining about a wide variety of weird occurrences, like items being moved about their homes, lights mysteriously turning on and off etc..

 		Main Entry: 1:wight
Pronunciation: 'wIt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, creature, thing, from Old English wiht; akin to Old High German wiht creature, thing, Old Church Slavonic vesti thing
Date: before 12th century
: a living being : CREATURE; especially : a human being

This is the standard meaning, the alternate one is that of a corporeal undead being. The Barrow Wights come to mind from LotR. They also appear in AD&D/D&D and other roleplaying games in a similar form.

Housewight would then not be faery related. Brownies/Killmoulis would be the ones more suited to such a locale. Though the behaviour shown in the news is more consistent with poltergeist activities.

Subject: at last

Date: 07 June 2003

at last some progress you have made
one step along this path you've found
but time was fleeting while you strayed
and the hounds of both sides hunt you down

so pause not long to celebrate
for you have barely yet begun
another challenge still awaits
before tomorrow's setting sun
