Has Mike ever explained why he stopped using the Marie Kelly moniker?

WSJ Note on Crosswords and Bylines.

This is the official statement. I think there may have also been concerns that they were falsely giving the impression that they had more female constructors than they do.

Aha. I guess that makes sense for consistency within the newspaper.

To add to the other good response, the plethora of monikers that Mike Shenk used masked the actual number of constructors that appeared in the WSJ. See https://glenncrossblog.wordpress.com/20 ... uthorship/ for an analysis of this matter along with all the (known) monikers that Shenk used since 2015.
