Are the kind words directed to Mr. Nitchals or his ghost? They don't
seem to be. Instead, people are praising him to each other. The
first year or two, the annual chorus might have been honest expressions
of grief. Even today they might be that in a few cases, but the
majority are merely participating in a cascade of NANAE politcally
correct pieties instead of puns or cat stories.

I can't seem to recall when I was last called beautiful.
I'd settle for "aspires to be honest."

I don't know what Internet you were using in 1998, but UUnet and Sprint
had major email spam problems on the Internet I used back then. Each had
NANAE commentators in 1998 championing them as the Great Satans of Spam.

If that is intended to say that UUnet and Sprint were never and still
are not the only big carriers spam, then I agree.

I agree that more #1's have noticed spam, but I don't see how that
invalidates my observation that spam always involved a lot of people
you wouldn't want to share a building with.
There were certainly plenty of "unrepentant criminals and con-artists"
spewing in 1998. (Note that I count Spamford as one of con-artists who
did not repent. Just as he was smart enough to get involved in the con
early, he was smart enough to quit early.)

I hope that was sarcastic. NANAE affectations notwithstanding, NANAE
had no significant effects on either AGIS or Cyberpromo.

It's not just as Bill Cole keeps pointing out that NANAE is just a
colletion of articles, but that most of the effective acts against
Cyberpromo were done by people who paid little attention to NANAE.
AGIS imploded more than fought and was defeated.

I don't dispute his virtues, although to be entirely honest, I never
noticed that he was more consistent or effective in his passions than
some other people I could name.

Point taken. He did, however, stand by me and did not forgive when the
unforgivable was done. There are some things, some horrible things,
that cannot be forgiven, and even Jim knew that.

Yeah. I miss his phone calls. I miss his IRC chats. I miss his wisdom
and humor and insight.

I bet mail will go through even if the www address is done broke.

I would like to see mike@westworld's phone log for that night! :) I
doubt it though, he wasn't acting the troll roll at that time, just
the IDP AGIS rant.
