Just a question

[Ruud Janssen]

just a question I wrote down in the VIP (Visual Impulse Poetry) way......

Dear Richard C and De Villo S.

Lots of guessing. Mail came from Liverpool. Clive Phillpot has another address and different style. Mark Bloch is from USA.

My guess is Mrs Postcards. Norman Solomon used a typewriter all the time (have dozen of letters from him), and the style is the same (like someone knows the details he would know). Also Blaster was a close friend of them, so that's the match.

Have sent Miss Noma several letters so will see if she / he decides to reply.

Wild guesses are always appreciated, but I enjoy facts too.

27.10.15 Dare Ruud J. & De Villo S., ..."Richard C. knows everything"...(that must be some sort of pataphysic "Ha Ha").  ...I'm curious as well... but if someone like  Michael Leigh & or Ruud Janssen  himself doesn't know--then I can't quite figure out how some goofus (with postcard in hand) from the foothills of Nawf  Karolinah could possible know. My quasi-semi-logic wants to say that Research & Miss Noma are one & the same  & or collaborators. Mark Bloch also comes to mind & or maybe Clive Phillpot but that can't be writeright. I've got my doubts about Mrs. Postcard as well but the temporal  temper tempo qualities of Norman Solomon seem to be somewhat similar....Perhaps Mister Bill Wilson is just playing games with us all???? All I know is & or all I ever do is go on wild goose chases & make wild guesses. Ave uh nez dae. Richard C.

Nomadic?

The Noma Ponies are funny!

I want to be clear for me it's not a "manhunt" on my part - just a lot of curiosity. Noma mail art is appearing. I am sure I have some and will share.

So it's not NOMA LISA.

At the risk of stating the obvious, Miss Noma = Misnomer - something misnamed. Just in case someone with another language or something missed it.

PS - Last night Miss Noma mailed me some beautiful PDFs of the old Modernist zine "Blast.: Wonderful. All very mysterious.

It could be the partner of Norman Soloman, Norman Soloman (Mr. Postcard) died years ago.....

(see: http://iuoma.org/blog_new_2015/2015/06/17/mail-interview-with-norma...)

So, maybe Mrs. Postcard?

[Ruud Janssen]

Yes, the O is missing......

[Ruud Janssen]

Miss Noma send mail from Liverpool in the UK, so that is something else.....

[De Villo Sloan]

Yes Gu, that's being confirmed elsewhere as well.

Remember, MinXus-Lynxus conducted a serious, in-depth investigation into claims some individuals were making that David Zack is still alive. And we did release some sensational findings. If we turn our investigative engines to uncovering the identity of Miss Noma, we WILL find it. No stone will be unturned. I am not saying Investigative Mail Art is necessary at this point.

I can attest to Moan and Miss Noma being different people living in different countries.

[De Villo Sloan]

Nancy, I am 99.9% sure it's not about Moan. (Although re-arrange the letters in MOAN and you get NOMA!) Moan is the new Grigori Antonin in the sense that you can blame Moan for just about anything, and people will believe it. Not this time.

I have had very nice email exchanges with Miss Noma and still have no clue. But I talk to Moan a lot, and I don't feel like I'm talking to Moan when I talk to Noma. This is a person who knows a lot about the network yet no historical character I can identify. But then, I have serious gaps. That's why - Richard C knows everything.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

This has to be about Moan, right?
