This is incorrect. Steve Swann started BOC-L in 1990 as an excercise in
high tech narcissism/monist mysticism. BOC-L is a means by which Steve
talks to himself about those things he likes to talk about. We are all
Steve, but are suffering under the delusion that we are not Steve. All
distinction, including my sense of myself as a molecular biology postdoc
working in a molecular immunology lab who really should be working on a
grant application right now, is illusion. I am Steve, as are we all. Once
we fully embrace our Steve nature, the distinctions will disappear, BOC-L
will disappear, and Steve will be left sitting in front of his computer
wondering why he was talking to himself for the past six years.

Guido (I mean Steve, of course) :-)

P.S. The game was called "What's My Line". Jeez I feel old! :-P
