I have been poking around usnet from the days when retention was just a few days at the very best and
a large newsgroup had a whopping 3000 headers! I can remember the very 1st full CD ever to be posted
and how long it took to download with my 300+$ shiny new 36.6K modem (forget about DVD's ... they had
not been created). If you were serious about the "game" you had to subscribe to more than one
provider to get good completion ... this was way before par files arrived to make our lives easy.
A few names come to mind over the years for their thoughtfulnes, and unselfish sharing ... but I can
say without hesitation "J" you have blazed a path to uncharted territories. What more can I say ...
you are a modern legend ... if we were in a different time and place we would sit around the campfire
and recite this saga to our wide eyed children.
Alas, the days of storytelling around the fire has been replaced by youtube, twitter and facebook. I
will probably never have the pleasure to meet you in person. So all I can offer you are my sincerest
