But Jos wasn't the kind of guy who could hide his exuberance. In response to a thread in which WebScissors was brought up as a site we should add to our list of external "transloaders": -----Original Message----- From: Jos Claerbout (Brava Services) Sent: Monday, July 26, 1999 7:42 PM To: Andrew Levin; Eric Kattwinkel Cc: Emily Wilska Subject: RE: List of "transloaders" for Grunge-E When last we spoke, Beth was in the process of adding Webscissors to her page. What's all this about Webscissors, anyway? I certainly did not make the page and am certainly in no way responsible and none of the charges will stick and I was no where near that computer anyway. - jos ------------ He did, however, manage to keep his name out of WebScissors, so much so that even his main external tester, "Beth," didn't know his real name. At one point, "Beth" thought his name was "Andy Levin": -----Original Message----- From: Jos Claerbout (Brava Services) Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 1:46 PM To: Andrew Levin Subject: This one's a keeper Return-Path: From: SecretAdmirer@webtv.net Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 16:41:26 -0400 (EDT) To: a-jrogue@webscissors.com (A Hyphen) Subject: Re: as you have probably already noticed...... Oh, I hope you don't mind. I think I figured ou that you are Andrew Levin? Is that okay? See, before I found WebScissors I asked Anthony Chu if he could make the workaround that you did. Then I found you. Then Anthony wrote me back badmouthing WebTV and saying it could not, would not, be done. Not in his house, not with a mouse. Not on a bed, can't be done, he said. Not in a day, no how , no way, not even if you pray. Then I wrote back and said something like "oh yeah- well Webscissors did it- so it "can" be done. He wrote back that he couldn't access WebScissors, so it must be a pay service, or that I was imagining it, and here was a copy of a letter he sent WebTV. He wrote WebTV and said a persistent SecretAdmirer said it could be done. (It infuriated him that I liked him calling me persistent *g*). He forwarded me a letter he got from Andrew Levin and said it was proof that it can't be done. >From the letter I saw that it "could" be done, and that Andrew Levin knew me to be writing about Uploaders. You won't believe this, lol, but I really am a tight lipped kinda gal and you are the only one I have told about that Club WebTV. 2+2 = A= Andy. I figured there was a good reason that you prefer to not have that known. I figured I don't need to know the reason but I liked being able to call you Andy. Is it okay? I deplore having to say I'm trustworthy and hate to be asked to not repeat things cause I am trustworthy and already know to not repeat things. I'll go try again.
