[OT] Have you seen any of these?

Posted in 2004

Summary

Purely off-topic banter, flagged as such in the subject. Jonathan Leffler posted a link to a humorous web page cataloguing Usenet poster/flamer personality types, and others replied with jokes about how many of the described profiles match real people in comp.databases.informix and other newsgroups. No technical problem is raised and nothing is resolved — there is no Informix content here beyond the participants being regulars of the group.

Have you been through the list on the site? There's quite a few matches for c.d.i and plenty of matches on other ng's I've sometimes been a member of.
