Yep.  Actually, I'm told that *all* the future-Usenet characters in that
book were based on real Usenet personalities, but the one based on me
seems to be the only one people found easily recognizable.  (And that's
probably deliberate, since that was about the only one whose portrayal was
really complimentary.  Most of the others, if easily recognized, could be
considered libelous...)
