Tim and I have debated that at great length.  My contention is that I'm
Siskel, since Siskel is less forgiving than Ebert.  Tim, of course, thinks
I'm wrong on that. :-)

True, though both Tim and I have made extensive forays into other groups as
well (many of the same ones, in fact:  talk.abortion, rec.arts.comics... I've
also popped into soc.singles and alt.personals).

>I'd say you're locked in a duel of fame with Atsushi Kanamori (who

Yeah, of the one-time "big four" (me, Atsushi, Roger Tang and Tim), I seem to
be the only one who's posting regularly (though Tim still reviews regularly
and Roger review and posts semiregularly).

Of course, admittedly I did take a semivacation over the summer. :-)

Also admittedly, who one sees as the "big four" is very much a matter of
opinion. :-)  (Some people might include Hack-Man, Mike Shappe, and even your
humble self in that list...)
