HW: a few questions.

[J D]

Hi,
All this talk of websites etc has prompted me to ask for some clarification of things that have always been a source of confusion for me and have never bothered to find out, so here goes ....

1. Who is Dale Churchett?
2. Who is Star Rats? (is 1 the answer to 2 and vice versa?)
3. What are either's (1 or 2 above) involvement with HW ?
4. Who is PikNik or do I mean Rix? (didn't PikNik do some photography for HW a decade ago?)
5. Who writes under the name of XXX?
6. Where does Doug Smith fit into the scheme of things nowadays?
7. Which site is which? Welcome To The Future, HW.COM, HW.org.uk, Mission Control etc.
8. Who is Captain Black?
9. Who owns EBS? 

None of these are particularly important but now seemed an opportune moment to ask.
