Yeah, a drunken old ****head who took pleasure in abusing people
(c.f. Highflyer, Sydney, et al.). I wouldn't go out of my way to
**** on his grave.

You might want to change your screen name. It doesn't fit you.



What? Change it back to Walter Wankstain, perhaps? But, do you really
expect civilized behavior from a DataBasux cretin?

The real LP was grieved to hear of BWB's demise. She's disgusted to
think some asshole would use the occasion of BWB's death to try to
besmirch her good name and his memory.


I noted the posting came from Databasix too and suspected a "Joe Job".
But I was not familiar enough with the historical context to determine
whether others already suspected the post was potentially forged.
Thanks for the confirmation.

I tried to use Google Groups to try and get an idea whether the post
was in character. Because of the sheer volume of postings, it was only
possible to review snippets from the Google Groups archives - but it
seems that as long ago as 7 years ago Ladypilot had been a victim of
impersonation.


Well, she does actually have a databasix account. Could be a froggery,
but I have never noticed a reticence on her part to shy away from
pointing one out...

In any case, it wasn't me...
