His great editorial skills of making an anthology of those times.He still remembers me from those days and its a great person ;) He allways replied when i had a question regarding these flame-wars follies.Anyway,a great guy to talk to. In my opinion, he has one of the keenest senses for spoting up BS ,i've ever seen. He should be a lawyer or something (Bill Huffman).
