Well, I can't comment about you possibly being crazy since we haven't met, but I do remember using a handle here also when I had access to my old 5 digit user ID.
All my posts as Talk_Is_Cheap are lost to history, sigh.
I have some of my printouts from a TI Silent-700 thermal printer that are about 22 years old, and I can still read some of them.
But some of them are completely gone, just light gray smudges on the now yellow paper.
Heat kills tham fast, and the one's that survived were in unheated storage.
I once left one of my logs rolled up on a sun warmed countertop for a little while, when I unrolled it, there was a series of lines where the theremal paper has turned brown, and nothing could be read.
Slashdot Mirror
This is a long shot, but I'm looking for the founder of, I believe it was called the HellHole BBS, based in the Palo Alto area decades ago.
I did some electrical work in his parents house (he was in High School), and we talked about this new website called SlashDot.
Just wondering if he's still around.

You know Sherry?
She lives down the road from me in Mendo.
Happy Birthday /.
It's amazing that it still exists, not as cool as it used to be, but still has some value.
So very nice to see all the low user ID's posting today.
It was Chips & Dips when I found it, can't recall what site I found the notice on though, some geeky place lost to memory.
I thought it was so professional when it went color with the teal headers, beautiful and unique.
Other than Kuro5hin, /. was my "go to" site every day for years.
I still have my FREE Dmitry Sklyarov T shirt, remember that corporate/state clown act, a harbinger of oppressions to come?
And I do miss OGG! the caveman.
So many great memories, and so glad it's still here.
Did you pay Cash for your houses, and vehicles?
No?
Then you don't own them, so if that's the case, your point is a bit thin, at best.
Yeah, it's never good to post with only two hours sleep...

Yeah, I really miss K5, it was a sane /. until the trolls got so bad that Rusty couldn't deal with it anymore.
I just ran across my ancient K5 T-shirt, it's all full of holes, I tossed it out, sad.
I am a HAM, and you are mistaken.
My license has always been delivered to my Post Office Box.
I do not have US Mail delivery at my location in a small town in California.
It's not as uncommon as you may think.

Heh, put 'em in a ziplock in the fridge.
