Where's Rick DotConnect whatever?

Y'know, Since the end of the world (also known as 1/1/00) is quickly approaching, I wonder where that fellow is who was around here a while back telling us that we wouldn't be getting any new sims because the government was going to draft all the programmers and that we were all going to be living in cardboard boxes eating cold beans from a can we had to open with a rock. What was this guy's name? Rick at Connect Dot Com or something like that? I wonder if he will be stopping in to pay us a final visit and chide us for our ignorance before his big apocalypse arrives. Anyone here planning to do anything special or interesting for the changeover? I am going to sit in front of my TV with my spouse and by-product and dogs and point my camcorder (with the date and time displayed) at us so when they dig up whats left of the old world in a few thousand years they will have a videotaped record of the last few hours of humankind as we know it. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Well, I *did* buy a manual can opener...<g> By-product? That's the strangest 'name' for kids that I've ever heard. Funny, though!<g> Although I bought some supplies, I didn't waste money on things I'd never use. Meaning, I got more canned goods, paper products, bottled water - but I didn't buy anything like a generator or whatever. Hey, if everything goes perfectly, I can STILL use the canned goods, etc. Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

Probably the same asswipe who was crying two weeks ago about Dave Noonan being a jerk because he hadn't done anything recently. Hey, ***! Maybe he spent the last six months working on something wonderfull and it's just not out yet. Don McCorkle

Rick, moved into his underground bunker, former missle silo I believe a week ago. It is out in the wilds of Texas somewhere and he expects to be the worlds' wealthiest man when he comes out! :-) He has been hording beans for years and if he doesn't gas himself he may have cornered the world market in them! :-) Pete ==-----

He kept on posting over at the simracing.org NG's up until recently, the reason he left this place was that someone, I think it was Richard Carver (where have you gone Rich ? :-) btw, and since this NG *has* a charter, he was in violation of his ISP's rules with his OT postings and consequently he had to leave....that's what he said in another post anyway, 2 days to go and there will be no more speculations :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy

One of Rick's personalities may be in a bunker, but the rest of them are no doubt stirring things up like usual. Anyone who can post to r.a.s about: "the internet will be a pre-collapse memory at best, given the sad state of other telco's compliance status" on the same day that he posts to comp.software.year-2000: "Third, I became a recovering doombrooder since the theoretical JoAnn effects that were supposed to take effect on 1/1/99 sort of fizzled out. I 'believed' several doomsayers on this issue instead of relying on concrete evidence. There is no track record left for which to rely on, only evidence." Is clearly either seriously deranged or a complete jerk. Kill file him. Take his own advice: go with the evidence, ignore the doomsayers - himself included! Cheers, Richard
