The earliest one I found in c.s.i.p.g.action through Google and using
the nickname "Mike S." was from November 2 1994, regarding "Carrier
Command". Of course, the name may refer to somebody else but it's as
close as I could get. As for the game, Mikey liked it! ;-)

Of course, Google's archive isn't complete; it only goes back to late
1994. There are probably earlier "Mike S." posts that are, sadly, now
lost to history.

That is not me. I never played Carrier Command. Also, I was likely
posting under a different variation of my first and last name way back
in 1994. Finally, I wasn't in this newsgroup at all back then. I was
only in .rpg and .strategic.

See, what did I tell ya? "Mike S" is not an original name. ;-)
(you missed out on a good game though)

The whole nick thing is a problem; I was a totally different person on
Usenet back then too. ;-) Actually, one of the problems I have
tracking down my older posts is that I went through so many nyms and
NNTP hosts that I've forgotten most of them.

My recent perusal of old usenet postings revealed -somewhat to my
surprise- that I posted a lot less on csipg.ACTION than I thought. I
always considered this my 'home base', but it turns out I was a lot
more diverse; .RPG was a favorite, but so too .ADVENTURE, .FLIGHT-SIM
and .STRATEGIC (.SPORTS could DIAF though ;-). But .Action got minimal
attention.

Anyway, I'll stop stalking you now, Mike S. (or whoever you are ;-).
It was just an excuse for me to go through old postings anyway)
