| Joe Talmadge of HP authored the first two BIFF postings. BIFF was like a western version of Borat and was a 14 yr old retard with a commodore 64. After those two Joe never did another but I picked it up. I forged maybe a dozen postings as BIFF@BIT.NET (BIFF) poking sticks at assholes that truly deserved it. Some weiner at UNIX today magazine complained in a column about this so I forged a BIFF posting tracable back to his account which shut him up. When the secret of how to forge usenet postings got out the college kiddies ran with it and made a real mess out of it. They used numbers instead of letters (and I think invented l33tspeak) and were fairly numerous. But not as funny. |
