during the Ben Bernanke interview on the News Hour one of the

Karl used to post here quite frequently up until about 4 or 5 years
ago. He lived up in the Florida panhandle area near Destin and owned
a fair sized Hatteras sportfish, a smart guy who founded and sold an
internet service provider early in the game.

Seems like I remember he sold out to Earthlink about the same time
that the New England Computer Network, which I was a partner of, sold
to Earthlink - that had to be - damn, '97/'98 maybe?

Maybe it's a different guy.
