I am not a sockpuppet!

Just in case some of y'all were confused, I've compiled a brief history of
myself on Usenet for you to peruse.  I'm striving for accuracy here, and I'm
not claiming to be proud of anything that is linked here below.

First archived post to Usenet:

It goes on like that for a while, with me doing battle in the religion
newsgroups.  I've relaxed a little since then.

It actually blows my mind how different I sounded back then.  Seven years
can do that to you.
