(np?) the fascination of Glenn Scheper

[Michael Bailey]

anyway, he made some interesting posts  Although auto-fellation (or
"fe11ation") was the touchstone, there was a goodly amount of other
material including some rather fascinating biographical tales, the tale of
dealing with a fairly serious mental illness and yet managing to live a
productive life (ie - to pay taxes et al) some attentive literary
commentary beyond the scope of his AF/AC thesis, and the evidence of some
diligent web surfing and wide reading...

I corresponded with him a little bit offlist too, but it was mainly from
his postings that I learned that he had learned to scuba dive, joined
Toastmasters, I believe he had built a Tesla coil at one point, had a near
death experience when somebody in a pickup truck ran him off the road, and
lost his job through downsizing  Then he was in sales and now it looks like
he's back in software engineering and involved in producing a tv show (this
from his Facebook page)

his software program WordsEx is rated at only 2 stars on cnet:

however, I have used it and if it worked on Linux I'd use it a lot more
 You're reading dark black text on a soothing green background, for one
thing, which is nice...

in sum, there's a lot more to Glenn Scheper than AF and AC but he presents
those ideas memorably and, hard as it might be to believe, convincingly!

he participated in the original AtD read, too
