Has anyone else tried fingering people @idsoftware.com?

Bits of tantalizing info can be had this way.

I got this from jo...@idsoftware.com:

   THE PLAN:

   To get the entire world running NEXTSTEP for development,
    get everyone connected on the Internet, and own a Testarossa TR512.

   DOS blows. DOS-Extenders create developer HELL. Windows sux.

   The next game is going to blow DOOM all to hell.  DOOM totally sucks
   in comparison to our next game, QUAKE: The Fight for Justice!  QUAKE
   is going to be a bigger step over DOOM than DOOM was over Wolf3D
   (ya know -- DOOM = pong). We won't start developing QUAKE until Fall'94,
   due to Jaguar DOOM (Comlynxed!), commercial DOOM (COMPUSA, Babbage's,
   etc.)and maybe a DOOM level pack.

   If you're reading this, your finger felt good in my hole.  Thank you.

and this from johnc:

   Plan:

   QUAKE = (DOOM + ULTIMA8) ^ 2

Who else can we poke?
