JaxAshby too, who would have guessed.

Nah, there was a "real" JaxAshby, but it looks like he gave up on
usenet after he got too famous (took a couple years). Several sock-
puppet players ("Bobsprit" for example) imitated him but were never as
funny.

.... Jax immortalized himself in my
mind by once suggesting to someone that they cruise to Lake Ontario
via the NYS Canals, the Genesee River and Rochester.

There is only one small problem with that route:

Yeah, I remember that... that was the real Jax... he also made many
memorable posts about "the deadly rocks & cliffs of Cape Hatteras"

I enjoyed his claim that he could prove by geometry that the piston in an
engine travelled further on the upstroke than the downstroke (or maybe it
was vice versa)
