   > Greetings denizens of a.f.t! I am Paul Sparkes aka Rob Coverdale. I made you   
   all famous the length and breadth of the UK circa 1999/2000. Your names were   
   on the lips of 60 million people thanks to my escapades both on here and in   
   the world of golf. Ask    
   Jeremy Chapman of the Racing Post if you don't believe me.   
      
      
   A gloriously good day to you, Dr. Dalecover! My apologies for not   
   answering sooner. I am not reading AFT anymore, so I was only alerted   
   to your return by word of mouth. Unfortunately, I am using a computer,   
   which works by typing, so I don't hear mouth-words unless the other   
   user is really close. As they say: in the internet, no-one can hear   
   you scream. Unless you are Desert Rain Frog on Youtube. Sorry. I   
   digress.   
      
   Unfortunately, as you can see, the group has been mostly destroyed by   
   Peter Jackson, who wanted to prevent the scholars here from   
   criticizing him. To that purpose, about ten years ago, he invented   
   Myspace and lured all the 60 million people you mentioned away. There   
   were other horrors, but I'd prefer not to talk about them.   
      
   I was not around in 1999/2000 because I am a prophet who occasionally   
   meditates for a few years in a desert cave and lives only from rain   
   water and lichen. IIRC, it was not until early 2002 when my worst   
   friend Bqggz figured out how his computer worked, and told me all   
   about it. Previously, he had thought it was a strange type of chair.   
   That was, of course, back then when we still had those really bulky   
   CRT monitors that you could sit on. Bqggz is not really clever.   
      
   However, my friends have always spoken of you, Prof. Dr. Sparkesdale,   
   in the highest tones of praise, and I am flattered and honoured to   
   make your acquaintance.   
      
   Best regards,
