Remembering Tim May and Goeff Miller

We all lived within 30 miles each other for a few decades but never
met in person while first interacting online in unison in 1992-1993.  

Then after years of kinda seldom posts to ba.* and scruz.* the three
of us were somehow sucked into and almost obsessed with a character
in alt.food.fast-food and carried on there for years with gusto.
The three of us being veteran Usenet personalities, it's odd that we
spent so much time 'battling wits' with the dimmest of them all in
the later, and final, years <sigh>.

As the last survivor of, "The Three Wisest Men on Usenet" (according
to Jerry Sauk of aff-f), I feel obligated and honored to remember my
two comrades every so often, publicly and respectfully.  

And with a shout-out to kilikini (RIP), who was instrumental in all
this as well.  She even got PM's from Jerry - Jerry's first and only
crush in his (now) 48 years of obtuse virginity.  That was sweet!(?)

I can't help recounting a Jerry Sauk quote when he was trying to
convince the Three Of Us that he was a "Man of the World":

"Ive had more jobs in the last 3 years than you 3 have had in your
whole life's!!!"
