Oh, how odd that we'd be talking about AGC in alt.dragons-inn; I only 
remember going there to roleplay (and, from the one post I found of mine, I 
appeared to be roleplaying some mashup of Myst mythology and the works of 
Anne McCaffrey... I kind of want to hug 15-year-old me, so cute and dorky),  
I don't remember any OOC discussions with people. Was it definitely 
alt.dragons-inn and not alt.fan.dragons?

Also, Tobby and Luke were originally from AGC? How weird, I definitely 
associate them more with this group.

Oh, my. This is disturbing on a number of levels, one of which is that you 
appear to like The Big Bang Theory. ;P I've really tried to like that show 
(actually, I forced myself to watch every episode in the process), and I 
think it did get better in the later seasons, but it's still just not that 
funny. I think the overenthusiastic laugh track is so irritating it 
actually makes the show seem even less funny, heh.

But, yes, Ievins. I love that when you google him now, a bunch of the 
first-page results are about JISBUs. :D
