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.

numerous physical changes to submarines would have to be made
...I don't get it. Why? I mean...how do women access a submarine different from men? Or is it that the men on a submarine don't ...have a bathroom with a door? I'm assuming they have at least one regular toilet that is not a urinal, since men have to shit too. So, that's out. Showers? Only one shower...area? They can't just say "OK, the girl is in the shower now, wait til she's out"? Do the men all sleep in one bunk area? And so they'll have to give women and men space to change clothes? ...I'm really failing to see how this rises to the level of "numerous". Or maybe I'm just assuming that men and women can work together and deal with the differences in their bodies for a little while without freaking out, by being adults. Maybe. Um. ?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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?
Sorry, my primary motto is "Keep the drama on stage."
From a purely factual point of view, I'm pretty certain that Gus joined this community shortly after I did. Which was not in the beginning. I know nothing of Fast Eddie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
OMG, ita is Gus. Or maybe Jesse.

I know very little about the Gus saga, which is odd because I've always been around.

The whole story is false, I'm saying.
Well, she talked to someone on the phone.
I may be seeing her on Sunday, actually. At the very least, I can remind her that Tim did not write for Buffy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

OMG, and I just read that article, and am having to restrain myself from going "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET" and "BLOGGING IS NOT REAL JOURNALISM OR YOU WOULD'VE CHECKED YOUR SOURCES". Ahem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd be happy to propose a Drama Thread in B'craxy just in case.
