Dr Bill is an affectionate name for William W. Hunt--who used to post here at the AWAD BB as WWH--

he is an nonogenarian, and his failing eyesite makes it difficult for him to read all the daily posts here.

but he sent a comment to Anu, and Anu included it in the last newsletter.

many of us miss Dr bill. he was often curmugedly, and sometimes sexist--but he was also extremely well read and knowledgeable. and he is missed.

May I clarify? I do 'know' Dr Bill, but my question refers to the newsletter. What is that, and how can I see Dr Bill's publicity in it? Thanks. >^--^<

>getting informed

this seems as though it is a multipart question, but.

as to AWADmail Issue 171, this appears on the surface to be something only accessible to those who subscribe to the AWAD service. you may, however, read it offline (as it were) by linking here:
http://wordsmith.org/awad/awadmail.html

as to *who is being talked about, you have to know that erstwhile stalwart wwh, aka Dr. Bill, is the William Hunt identified in Issue 171.


edit: I see my answer has been somewhat OBE, but at least I seem to have covered enough bases. :)
