Incidentally, "Back in the day" I was pretty active on K5, and I remember when Dare joined (which, despite
his low uid was quite a long time after I joined - my id was in the 200's and his is over 1800). I thought he
was just another punk hacker who thought he was too cool for /. until he started posting a few stories. They always
impressed me, and I had pretty high standards. He posted some when he interviewed at Microsoft, and he thought he
was going to be working on Data Access stuff, which I found pretty interesting. Unfortunatly he went and did that XML crap instead, so
I stopped reading his stuff for a while... ;-)
