The Belching Dragon Inn & Tavern
================================

"As for The Dragon, I have a little history page up on my website,
at http://www.belchingdragon.com/draghst.html. After the dialup
board went down, I tried for a while to create the same experience
on a website - that never worked out, but I still maintain a
mailing list to which many of the original "Irregulars" still
contribute. Like several of your interview subjects, to this day
my closest friends (not to mention my wife) are people I met
through The Dragon. Funny story for you (the "sysop" stuff from
disc 1 is still echoing in my head). One of the Irregulars had a
young daughter; she was probably about seven at the time. Very
smart, precocious kid that we all treated as "ours" at the weekly
board social events. One day her mom gets a call from school,
wanting to know if the girl needed to be punished. Seems that
someone was trying to explain the idea of "God" to her, as the
entity that created and maintains the universe. In her eureka
moment, Smaltos exclaimed, "Oh, you mean he's a sysop!" Her
teachers didn't know the word, and thought it might be a
foreign/naughty one. :-)" - Hendel Thistletop
