See, what did I tell ya? "Mike S" is not an original name. ;-)
(you missed out on a good game though)

The whole nick thing is a problem; I was a totally different person on
Usenet back then too. ;-) Actually, one of the problems I have
tracking down my older posts is that I went through so many nyms and
NNTP hosts that I've forgotten most of them. 

My recent perusal of old usenet postings revealed -somewhat to my
surprise- that I posted a lot less on csipg.ACTION than I thought. I
always considered this my 'home base', but it turns out I was a lot
more diverse; .RPG was a favorite, but so too .ADVENTURE, .FLIGHT-SIM
and .STRATEGIC (.SPORTS could DIAF though ;-). But .Action got minimal
attention. 

Anyway, I'll stop stalking you now, Mike S. (or whoever you are ;-).
It was just an excuse for me to go through old postings anyway)
