More socketing confusion

[Crystalion]

... and here I was thinking you were 18 or so...

haha! I wish.

A quick search for Crystalion on Google groups will turn up a May 14, 1998 post by Jarulf refering to me.

IIRC, I first used the handle Crystalion on the DSF a few months after D1 was released.

By this measure alone, if I'm 18 now, I would have been making my verbose posts about Diablo since I was 12.

I guess I'm just precocious. :D

If you're a bit sleuthier, you'll find that my "true name" (ala Vernor Vinge) is just as easy to come by as Jarulf's. In which case you can trace my net postings back to years before the www. If you're really good you can trace me back to EA and products there. If you're a genuine Oracle, you might find some public trace of me before that.

But speaking of "12"... that is the average age of my children... and I hope they don't plan on posting game geek missives any time soon (although they are both addicted to Toon Town, so who knows?)
