Actually, I think Jill's right.  It wasn't Billy and Ben, it was
Bob'n'Ben.

Erk.  Memory is, what, the second thing to go?  :-}

Hmmmm.  Now it's bugging me.  How did Billy fit into the picture?
Maybe he was the guy who told me what had happened to the list...
(only one person actually knew the story, everyone else was just
confused about where the list had gone.)

I don't suppose anybody actually archived any posts from this era? :-)
