   I dug around the net for a few minutes earlier, and while I haven't    
   found the National Enquirer issue, I did find a copy of the article by    
   Michael Liedtke, and it includes responses by you and fellow NIRVANAnet    
   sysops of the time.  I couldn't stomach reading the entire article    
   (egads, people were SO naive then), but it sure was interesting.
