"News that's not known, or not known enough." Helen & Harry Highwater's cranky weblog of news and opinion.

Our email address is unknownnews at inbox.com. And in case that address ever fails, we have a few back-up addresses: newsuneed at yahoo.com, and unknownnews at lycos.com. We check all four e-addresses at least daily. Brighter folks grasp that it's not necessary to write to us at all four email addresses. Any one of the four will do, but for the quickest response the preferred address is unknownnews at inbox.com. All sales pitches, mass mailings, and clearly clueless or crazy communiqués are trashed or deleted, with no acknowledgement and no apologies. Hate mail gets published, with the author's name and email address attached. If you're new to the internet or new to good manners in general, please click here for the complete list of crap we don't want. Anyone wishing to hassle or harangue us should know: Stephanie is not the author of this page, and disagrees with much of it. For years we had a post office box, which allowed us to send and receive handwritten notes from readers, or accept orders for stickers and such by mail. Sadly, that personal touch is no longer available. We closed the box in 2008, after growing weary of the death threats from people so stupid they think it's treason to stand up for peace and freedom.
