.net magazine article ch/1998

Britain's .net Magazine featured my website on page 17 of their ch 1998 issue (number 42). They quote from the "FAQ"
pages, and also include some details of the evidence I have tried to present on my website.

The age of some of the material on the website shows in this review, which says the case "has been discussed in uk.*
newsgroups during the past year". At this time (ch 1998) it has been discussed on uk.misc for three years, and there
are still occasional traces of the discussion going on.

I figured it was just an exercise in typing. Out exercising beats typing
any day. Anyone that can do iron butt upright or lounging is amazing. I
am pretty beat after 8 hours on a mountain bike. It is not about the
bike but about my muscles that are not used to working. Sitting in a
chair to earn a living means bike riding can be painful in huge helpings.

I had those pains too, but my mix of ride and hike cut those back to
reason. I mountain bike into place where I have to carry the bike so my
saddle parts get some blood. I'm still sore at various places after 9
hours out in the wilderness. Better than 9 hours at a CRT (pick one).
