Editor's Note: Membership in this list is no indication of your writing
talent, the coherence of your arguments, or your personal worth. All it
means is that someone noticed your postings, wrote a blurb about you,
and sent it to me. If you're bummed that you're missing, do that, and
I'll add you. I only edit for space. (The original version of this was
by Duke, but Cromwell has since usurped the responsibility of keeping it
updated. I deleted a few people whom I didn't remember seeing recently;
whine, and I'll put you back on.)

5150 (Ron Echeverri). ro...@netcom.com
(entry written by: duke william 5150 crystal)
Rarely seen anymore, but one of the originals. His posts were Snotty,
funny, cynical, angry, angstful. Still lurks, but claims not to be
angstful since leaving Seattle in March, 1994. Reestablished alt.anger
last year, and immediately flamed theDavid there. Nothing like a good
trip 'round the block on the bandwagon.
Alan Jaffray. jaf...@dent.uchicago.edu
(entry written by: alan duke chia)
Formerly confessional and surreal (was once mistaken for sine), but now
rarely posts. Bisexual, juggles, feeds candied ginger to llamas.
Formerly mathematics grad student, now Unix geek. Saved sine's life.
Thanks.

Englishness tends to prevent posting of deeply personal angst. Has to
resort to angst type quips and sarcasm. Lives in Cambridge, England.
Fufilled long-time ambition to attend an Angstcon.
Amacker (?). ama...@aol.com or abu...@mv.us.adobe.com
(entry written by: duke amacker)
Female. Doesn't prefer sexual toys to men. Her angst did not begin when
part of her upper lip was ripped off by a dog, but that is a good
sign-post. Graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Philosophy.
Transmogrified into a high-tech artist in Silicon Valley. Finds
California beautiful but shallow. Feels compelled to write a screenplay.
Misses Austin and her friends. Allergic to fish.

Doesn't flame much. Now a law student at Syracuse.
Eric Boesch. ebo...@cap.gwu.edu
(entry written by: steven duke)
Much angst, sometimes with an ironic distance. Much loneliness and
anger. Many "vitamins". Sometimes Eric's posts make you laugh, other
times they make you ill. At the best of times both.
Richard (R.) Bown. (rb...@bnr.co.uk)
(entry written by: duke henri sean)
British. Hates to travel. Mostly harmless. Cycles to work in English
weather on occasion which proves he's both an adventurer and a stoic.
Posts suggest he understands what _trenchant_ means. Discombobulates
unobservant imbeciles who address him as 'BRown.'
Caitlin Burke. cait...@stein.u.washington.edu
(entry written by: 5150)
Beautiful, Jewish, slightly neurotic, loves cats and kids. Very well
informed; don't even think of getting pedantic around her.

(entry written by: duke)
Joined March '94. Posts angry but thoughtful rants. Knows the difference
between unhappiness and angst. Proves the invasion of the commerical
services isn't all bad (he started on America On-Line), even if he did
have nice things to say about 12-stepping. Considers himself a gen-X-er.
Writes comic books (Hyperkind from Marvel). Gay. Serious about
astrology.

Chiaroscuro (Matt Sheahan). ch...@crystal.palace.net
(entry written by: duke, alan, chia, william loopy)
(writings available)
Joined in Fall, 1993. Often posts short, darkly humorous remarks as
followups. In actuality, a romantic, as one "love" thread demonstrated.
This dichotomy is not surprising, given his handle. Has some kind of
unexplained relationship with Louise Rogow, but is nowadays
"hand-fasted" to Gwenneth. Takes offense at being called a romantic, an
extrovert, sensitive, or "Bob." Pagan, Discordian. 21 years old, but
seems younger. Has his own newsgroup (alt.pets.chiaroscuro) and, along
with gwenneth, maintains the angst website and MUSH
(http://www.crystal.palace.net/~angst). Gets into arguments he can't
back up.

Angst Ranger. 36, divorced, has custody of his 16 year old son

conservative, a nazi, or a libertarian, depending on how you look at it.
Enjoys beer; owns-a-fast-car; trying to quit smoking. Snores loudly. Has
a painting of Nixon on his living room wall, next to the paintings of
the honorable Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
Cromwell (David Bjorlin). dc...@poe.acc.virginia.edu
(entry written by: dirk, loopy)
Looks like "Kenneth Branagh’s bastard." Self-effacing, fond of puns,
likes to troll the Irish-Americans on the group. Attends law school at
U.Va. Joined Fall, 1994.
The Crow (Scott Grant). the...@xnet.com
(entry written by: thecrow duke)
29, Windows Developer, lives in a suburb of Chicago. Continually posts
long winded, dull, monologues about an ex-girlfriend he is unable to get
over. Obsessed with "The Crow," and anything gothic, dark, moody, and
bleak. Tried killing himself over Christmas holiday 1994 after a phone
call from his ex. Wound up in the psych ward for most of winter 1995,
and posted an amazing Chaucerian series of tales the patients told in
group therapy. Usually kill-filed or ignored. Writes about himself in
the third person, occassionally. Drives a fast car, and is usually armed
to the teeth. Enjoys playing with handguns while writing his posts.
Crystal Renay Raymond. bw...@yfn.ysu.edu
(entry written by: duke, cromwell)
(writings available)
Occassionally a confessionalist, occassionally a snide comentator.
Father died when she was five. Lives in Pittsburgh, 25, agoraphobic
free-lance writer/poet. Failed attempted moves to San Diego and
Portland, ME. Has decided it's easier on her nerves to simply make her
peace with Pittsburgh. Recently ended relationship with long-term SO,
currently entertains herself by robbing Scottish cradles. Has an
unexplained mermaid fetish, a dog, and a pet attorney. Once described
herself as "a very pretty 23-year old girl... very outgoing... can
usually relax people around me with chatter and laughter and general
kid-sisterness." Duke said the last was a lie, but he quickly recanted
under torture.
Dawn of the Living Dead (the Dawnwitch Horror) (Dawn Albright).
da...@netcom.com
(entry written by: duke)
(writings available)
Enjoyed living in Lincoln, Nebraska. Wrote perhaps the most intense of
the confessional postings, about how her husband left her at the end of
very difficult pregnancy. Statistician. Former math teacher; her
underwear once disintegrated while she was teaching. Seems to take the
whole pagan/wicca thing a little too seriously. 33 (born 12/31). Cute.
DJF (Dirk John Fischer). dfi...@alumni.ysu.edu
(entry written by: duke chia cromwell)
(writings available)
Joined Fall, 1993. Ends posts with pithy remarks in quotes between
initials (e.g. D "wise" J "crack" F); although often has more quotes
than available letters. Tends to post short, nasty, humorous followups.
Lives in Ohio; middle-aged; divorced; has children; owns-a-fast-car.
Once helped police divers pull a corpse out of the water. Worked with
the Air Force on imaging systems, but sees different colors out of each
eye. Looks like an Amish biker; talks about sailing an awful lot.
Returned to the newsgroup after a brief hiatus, pops up on the MUSH
occasionally.
Duke Robillard. du...@cc.bellcore.com
(entry written by: duke chia xibo cromwell)
(writings available)
Founder of the Who’s not Who phenomenon. An angst.cop who occasionally
posts something angst-related, but usually doesn't. Tends to flame
people for mistaking simple unhappiness and lack of sex for true
existential angst. Often posts short, nasty, "humorous" followups,
thinking that people give a shit what his opinion is on every little
non-angst-related matter. Lives in New Jersey, owns two motorcycles, and
is not the Blues Guitar player of the same name. Rabid elitist. Claims
to have left the group, but keeps coming back.

Law student in Houston. Has own newsgroup (alt.texas.highplains or
somesuch) that my server doesn't carry. Often labels self according to

some other guy. Hates "Saved By The Bell." Joined 2/94.

Thinks "The Scream" is a female, raised Catholic, has red hair. Speaks

pretender." Bit hard on a quebecois troll last fall. Has a bad
self-image & consequently has a hard time connecting with men. Studies
kangaroos and equine anatomy, but is leaving grad school after she gets
her MS. Smarter than Cromwell. Once timed the trains in Switzerland and
discovered her quartz watch was losing 3 seconds per week. Enjoys
posting about blood, guts, and creepy crawlies. MUSHes regularly.
Louise Rogow. god...@access3.digex.net
(entry written by: duke, chia)
Even more serious about paganism than Dawn: Wiccan-Discordian,
"hand-fasted" to a "betrothed." Seems to be infatuated with Chiaroscuro,
or perhaps the other way around. When asked how to break off a
relationship, answered "I usually just stop calling, stop visiting, and
act cold when they attempt contact. But I'm a bitch." Claimed to be "a
very powerful woman." Talks about sex like a longshoreman, bisexual,
denies boinking Xibo, less fat than she used to be (Size 12 now), and
continuing to melt.

guy) on and off since 1990. Came out to herself during this time. Hates
Dublin but seems destined to stay there. Currently not in college

strange sexual experiences, and many related to violence. Fought in
Angola & raced motorcycles. Good series of posts about a trip to
Bangkok. Controversial; hated and loved. Joined 8/94. Got in a flamewar

accident. 25, grew up in several small towns and mining camps, all
filled with stupid blue collar proles. Moved every two years or so. Had
a "pretty cool administrative/research job at a think tank." One of the
confessionalists. Posts in order to say "gee, the world sure does suck,
don't it, and to hear many more people say, yup, more than you thought,
too." Formerly had a strange intestinal disorder, cured by Xantac.
Interested in a number of traditionally male subjects, like guns and
cars. Author of "The Angst Boat," a brilliant overview of a.a. "Call me
Steph, and the dog dies." Not Cute.

basic, pure, unavoidable pain in everyday life. Uses "Organization:
Things which hurt very much for a long time." Interviewed in Wired 2.05

(entry written by: cromwell loopy)
Not quite thirty, wants a CAT (Cute And Tortured angst.babe, not the
other kind of p… well, you know), works for a Republican Congressman
from New Jersey. Claims to eat only meat; this strikes some of us as an
inefficient (and messy) way to eat tacos. Shows up on the MUSH a lot,
though I haven’t seen him on the group.
Tara Marchand. t_ma...@psych.ucsb.edu
(entry written by: duke, chuck, alan, tara, chia)
Joined in Fall, 1993. Lesbian. Describes herself as "an optimistic
realist; moderate liberal; reserved, sometimes shy, ironic, sometimes
solitary." Former grad student in biopsychology; "loves music of all
genres." 24 (born Sept 7). Posted much genuine relationship angst
following a relationship breakup. Blonde, proving none of jokes are
true. Doesn't buy any of this "objective reality" bullshit. Started
"I'm Angstful!", the biggest troll thread alt.angst has ever seen.
theDavid. thed...@clark.net
(entry written by: duke henri cromwell)
Uses more aliases than Remington Steele, perhaps because he is so often
killfiled. Was once beaten by four teeangers with lumber. Considered by
some to be a "fucking asshole," but was bumped off the "a.a most hated"
list by Faustus; even Loopy (whom he pesters ‘cuz he likes her, like in
seventh grade) gets along with him now.
Therion. the...@beast.amd.com
(entry written by: therion)
(writings available)
One of the old timers. Holds alt.angst archives back to 1988, but won't
share. Has recently gotten past grad school ("returning adult student")
and has abandoned academia for the world of high-paying corporate system
administration, which allows him to freqently indulge in high grade
single-malts. Thinks there is little difference between being in love
and being insane. Advocates LDR's as a sure form of emotional suicide.
After 20 years of dating, he understands the dynamics of relationships
well enough to advise others, not well enough to save himself. Current
hobbies are information overload, african and middle-eastern trance
drumming, and attempting not to fall in love with emotionally disturbed
younger women. Has his own WWW Home Page, (http://www.io.com/~therion1).
Tom Price. Thomas...@kanga.fac.cs.cmu.edu
(entry written by: tom, duke, chia, william, cromwell)
Black sense of humor, well adjusted and happy, posts mean snappy
followups and philosophy/sociology flames. Very well read and culturally
literate. Rides a BMW motorcycle, but not one of the cool, opposed
twins. Tried to go back to college after a long absence; dropped out
again. Would Kill and Eat the Ensign to avoid Dying of Starvation. Fond
of beer and good comic books. Sartre business card: "Tom Price, Obscure
Dropout. Backrubs, eats quickly." Raised Fundamentalist Christian.
Engaged to a 3rd grade teacher who lives far away from him. Sometimes
seems to prefer being ironic to answering tough questions. Appears to be
setting himself up as the anti-Callahan. Recently left university job
for a position in The Real World.

25, 5'11", 195 lbs., brown eyes, black hair (though losing it), nice
calves. Wears glasses and has three earring holes. Is bi-racial and
bisexual and has an amazing lack of jealousy (may be polyamorous but has
never really tried it). Has a ranging (though mostly Christian)
religious background, a philosophy degree, and thinks too damn much.
Tends to post in a confessional manner, though is also known to dump his
bad poetry on the froup. Is known for defending or at least playing
Devil's Advocate with the more annoyingly- behaved posters. Was the most
fervent participant in the abortive attempt at invading
alt.hi.are.you.cute. Has almost as many personae as theDavid. MUSHes
regularly. Has a sucky webpage (http://www.louisville.edu~asbuch01).

28, sysadmin/analyst for large manufacturer. Trying desperately to work
his way into some sort of grad program before daily life here drives him
stupid. Nocturnal, solipsistic, angst-ridden but dealing with it. Takes
the Alexandrian solution to the Gordian knot; i.e. likes to cut through

One of the founders--was on the angst email list which preceeded the
newsgroup. The Anti-Kibo. Tends to post about the ridiculous dishonesty
that is male-to-female sexual relations. Proponant of SNTF. Married
since June ‘95. Has his own newsgroups (alt.angst.xibo.sex,
alt.sex.xibo.not). Lives in NJ, works at a brokerage house, drives a
Toyota MR2. Had some kind of confusing encounter with Louise which
produced conflicting boink-reports. Gifs available on

this is way out of date. i now have a good relationship with my moms,
and a horrible relationship with everyone else. and my ex is spitting
game to me, much to mine (and everyone else's) chagrin. oh, and
please put that i have a fear of flying but have flown 13 times this
year.
oh...and that i hardly post any more.
