Mike thanks for that delightful reminder.  I hafta say that was perhaps the most fun I have ever had in my entire tragically squandered life.  Everybody was doing everybody at that party.  Robert Bradbury, Greg Burch, Anders, Eliezer, a buttload of us were over here doing that.  We were even posting realtime to other ExIers to post privately to people here so they could forward to the list under the recipients’ name.

 

I need to go back into the archives at some point, find the posts from that day, see what it was like having us imitate each other with the ability to post under the other person’s name.  Oh that was a hoot.  Robert Bradbury was remarkably good with spike-isms.  He fooled even me: now I won’t know if I wrote that or if he did.
