Am I wrong in wanting more drama from a former member of this community going on a major sci-fi portal and pretending to have invented it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Who was Fast Eddie here? Or was he Gus?

That's what I'm thinking.

If there was a Fast Eddie here distinct from Gus, they were puppeting under another name.

I hope Casper is feeling better soon!
if you're ever in a group with deadweight (I should say when you are), don't be afraid to steamroll. Better to end up with a good project than be a good team player, sometimes.
One of the first things that they mentioned to us in last week's professional panel discussion was that our classmates were going to be our first level of library contacts and that we would more than likely be sharing classes with people on a regular basis over the year(s) of acquiring our degrees. I have to make sure I don't get a reputation as a pushy know-it-all.
But, you're right about getting things done when they have to be. I remember my first interview here at my company back in 1992, when my manager, who is a pretty quiet woman, was being a bit hesitant during the interview. I instinctively took over the interview and just started chatting with the info most interviewers want to know dropped in without waiting for her to ask the questions. I guess she didn't mind since she not only hired me then, but hired me again for my current position.

I don't remember the creation of TV Tropes involving any other buffista, certainly not two more who had known Gus for decades, and who were there since Salon. The whole story is false, I'm saying.

Gus, in fact, was not with us at Salon (at least not posting). He delurked rather memorably at the Phoenix, IIRC, from a bar, where he was singing Daniel's Freedom Fries song.

The way that article was written, I got the impression that Fast Eddie/Gus/Janitor/whomever was a major part of the group that formed our website here. IIRC, Gus didn't show up until a few years after we launched.
