Nope; but I've saved your post just in case I ever need a reminder of how
insane Usenet can be at times...  *grin*

It's weird though; I stumbled across this 'froup asking Google about
C*rn*rst*n*'s ancestry (thinking about re-engineering its bytecode
interpreter, since the program's always fascinated me), lurked on the
offchance that I may get enough free time to consider getting back into IF
and porting a Z-machine to GEM, notice posts from two people I know from the
GEM world and then end up discussing implementing a Z-machine in hardware.
The internet's a funny place at times...

Now to find some group I can rant about Postscript and Bezier curves in.
rec.hobbies.underwater.basket-weaving perhaps.
