Does anyone remember the messages posted to this list about 2 months ago
from a semi-anonymous source with allegations about shady dealings between
ANS and DIGEX?  I don't remember the pseudonym the person was using, but it
was something like "the friend" or "concerned person".

Anyway, assuming you remember this person, do you remember the sub-optimal
grammatical quality of those messages?  It just occurred to me that Mr.
Stroup's messages have a very similar "feel" to them.

I didn't save any of the anon person's messages ... anybody want to do a
side-by-side comparrison of them and back up or discredit this hypothesis?

Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with the current ANS/Digex/Cook/Stroup/NSF
	    battle.  Flame me if you must, but please spare the list.
