    IIRC some septic conspiracy nutter, but it would be fun to hear what TOG
    has been up to.

  4. TOG's bestist mate on the whole internet he is, they go back years

  5. Henry Hansteen.

    Some crazed conspiracy kook on reeky. He used to post from a Cornell.ac
    account (may still do so, but I've had him killfiled for years), and
    pretended to be some hotshot academic from aforesaid university, until
    some kind soul on reeky did a bit of digging and found he was, in fact,
    a janitor there.

    So he's basically a deluded lavatory attendant.

    I don't think that's true. My understanding is that he is/was a a lab
    technician.

    Here's his Cornell page:

    This is America we are talking about, he may be a technician, but he does
    not define what sort. He could well be a Service Technician, in the
    janitorial department.

    If you want to attack the guy's politics, please be my guest. But
    let's not mischaracterize his life and profession just because he is
    unlikable.

    Maybe, but we should take the high road and give him the benefit ofthe
    doubt. I was a lab rat in college, but my title was Assistant, not
    Technician.

    Learn to drive a proper newsreader and it will work just fine.

    The newsreader is dead. Here across the pond, we have this really cool
    new interface called a web browser. You guys should be getting them in
    a few more years.

    You should have your mouth washed out with soap for that remark.

  15. He should be hung drawn and fucking quartered for it. I have got half
    of a snatch at tune and a couple of words that corrupt to "something for
    nothing and a web tv" going round in my head with no clue as to the name
    of artiste and or song except that the video had guitars going sideways
    on it arranged bit like wallpaper patterns and the bloke has a voice
    like gravel. Bastard.
