I searched on a well-reviled name, and found this

If you click on the name, it opens a mail client window with this
email address:
If you then search on THAT email address, you find
this:http://phantasmal..sourceforge.net/D...angingLPC.html
Which fits something I found years ago...that he was a MUD player and
certainly very techhy.
So from that site, I got a name. Searching on that name shows
this:http://www.alyx.com/zell/resume.html
Whats interesting here is that he was educated in Sweden....the home
of the legend he took his name from. Additionally, he lives in
Madison, WI....we know he paddled flat-bottomed boats, had some
outdoor experiences, etc.
And the final piece (so far): searching through lots of old posts
herehttp://twitter.com/#!/Zellskishowsabunch of posts with the same
formatting as the old *roll eyes* or *snicker* .....but in this case
its things like *grin* or *laugh*.
Additionally, we know he used to torture people on a usenet group that
debated alternate potential timelines if history had been different,
especially WW2, and his amazon.com profile shows
this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2A550CUUBMNKT


May be coincidence, but there are a ton of circumstantial evidences.
Not a perfect fit, but cyberstalking this nutjob is a hobby, at
least.


I do wonder why his posts ended mid-argument on three different
newsgroups in Dec of 99, though.

Hmm, upon further research I might have read too much into the first
mail client. Apparently several people at dworkin use the same email
address....in fact, if you look at the signature of the owner, Felix
A. Croes, you will see a very familiar sight.......

Such a very amazing link!

But... but Myron, his namesake character is actually from an Icelandic
saga, and Iceland was settled by Norwegians. *And Norwegians and
Swedes really don't like each other very much, at least since the
Swedes collaborated with the Germans in WWII while the Norwegians were
under occupation.

I get the Scandinavian connection, but I think it's week.

Keep on fighting the good fight, though!

Ever think of migrating to BoaterTalk.com, where most of us ended up
after the two morons wrecked r.b.p?

Alas, BT isn't what it used to be either...

Thanks for still doing some digging after all of this time, Myron.
I'd be interested in the guy's real name and other info as well, but I
agree with Richard, that from where I stand, the connection isn't
looking that strong.
