i remember him because i was surprised one day when i was reading my mail and
there was a message from "me" that wasn't actually from me... there was a few
replies which were also flagged as being to me but weren't because they were to
another mark lewis... that's when i went and looked closer at the original and
saw it was from Z3... the memory has remained with me after all these years ;)

yeah, me either... back in those days i spent most of my time in like six or
seven echos... FRONTDOOR, RA_SUPPORT, RA_UTIL, PASCAL, PASCAL_LESSONS, and the
one for whatever tosser i was running at the time... i think that was IMAIL for
a few years until FASTECHO came around and i switched to it... the original
IMAIL is /the/ tosser that allowed our BBS to finally fully join fidonet back
then... it was so much better than the QBBS tosser tools we were trying to use
at the time...
