A Usenet persona calling itself Tinkerntom wrote:


As far as Scott goes, I don't expect that Scott feels the need for a
fan club, that is yet to be proven wrong!

And yet, according to my email, I have one. Well, had one...I dropped out
for awhile after my mother's death and Usenet groupies are notoriously
fickle.

Though I would volunteer if
the job comes with the perk of driving a Hummer. They are pretty cool,
and Big, and expecially if they have darkened windows. Think SWAT,
could stand for Scott Weiser Attack Team! He and I do ok against some
of you raging liberals!

LOL! Now THAT'S funny.


Scott you are hearing this aren't you, I am going out on the limb for
you, so may I come visit you, to set the record straight about what
kind of guy you really are? Sort of like I did with K&r! Things are so
much better now between them. Maybe there is hope between this bunch
and you! Tnt

I'm no different in real life than most ordinary people. I commend you for
refusing to make value judgments about people based on what's written on the
Usenet. I have a very specific persona on the Usenet that I have carefully
crafted to provide maximum effect for my intended purpose, which is that of
stimulating debate and the exchange of information on a variety of subjects.
