S. Constitution notwithstanding) unless he/she actually wants to be a freeman or serf -- rather rare. I *do* think she is HIGHLY presumptuous to take the name of Arwen Undomiel, Elrond Halfelven's daughter, one of the 3 most beautiful Elves ever to have existed (those who have read Lord of the Rings will understand; others won't). Face it, Ar, you may greatly admire Undomiel a great deal (as do I; otherwise, I wouldn't flame in this *utterly* irresponsible and uncalled-for manner), but you are not immortal and you \probably/ do not have unearthly grace and beauty. Harrumph! (Really, don't take it very seriously, Ar!) Tim McDaniel (. . . pur-ee!uiucdcs!mcdaniel)
