newmismatic news was created by Belayoff
I too presented an article about the C4OA meeting and Nev Museum sponsored CC coin show to a couple of the numismatic publications.
The editor of Nemismatic news turned me down so far...guess why?
Because of my pen name.....
I asked what's wrong with Belay Off?..It just means "not climbing".
He said--- "The term will antagonize readers who think that it is some sort of inside joke that they are not privy to."
Hmmm, I thought pen names were a great American literary tradition
...guess not!

You're right Belay Off, pen names are an American tradition.
As a reminder, I have included below two well-known writers from the Comstock years in Nevada.
