Teenage me in 1994 trying to combine helpfulness and knowitallness. Some things never change.

I hope Rudy got that Ultrastar and other cool stuff too.

And I was SOOO close to truly being a part of the original hordes of eternal September, but I was really about 9-12 months too late.

Yeah, that handle got retired REAL quick. I believe there was a Braveheart inspired email address on Juno dot com, followed by a couple of philosophy themed ones in college, then I finally settled into things related to my name or sort of inscrutable nothingburgers.

MODESTGOD would be eager to let you know, however, that he was in on the AOL thing early enough that no zero was necessary. 🤣

I believe there was also a guild in the original Neverwinter Nights, "Zen and the Art of Battleaxe Maintenance" that attracted newbies for a couple of weeks until they realized that they should join proper guilds, and while I can't find them, I presume there was something Star Wars related somewhere.
