| By Jove I ought to de-lurk myself then. I'm an Australian now working at ... York University ... I was once (about two years ago) somewhat active in .loc.au but have maintained radio silence for a while thanks to being overworked with my PhD. (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

That proves that impressions can be misleading, perhaps that things have changed since I noticed (thought I noticed) it, and certainly that I should make sure, before I say something, that my foot is nowhere near my mouth.
