[SunRescue] GeekBoy say "relax" (was ...small country...)

[Christopher Byrne]

I had a very long (12 month) email conversation with ESR on the whole geeks
with guns things before he wrote CATB, but our correspondence pretty much
flatlined after that. Fomr what I understand he is travelling about 2/3rd of
the time these days. Doesnt leave much time for personal email

Why would you *want* to convince someone of that, though? 8-)  JK is the
only slashdot "author" I have my preferences set to "ignore" on.  I wont
start ranting here, though.

I got to meet ESR at WorldCon in San Antonio a few years ago, back before
he became "famous", when he was just "the jargon file guy".  Really nice,
very subdued and quiet, but really fun to talk to (I sat and talked with him
for about an hour before I saw his name badge and realized who he was - we
were at a meeting of ISP owners in the area, at the time, and he was tagging
along with Avi Freeman..)
