He also held onto, refused to share or collaborate, but bragged incessantly and inappropriately about his glorious "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Netnews Reader", during the early 1980's when I knew him from east coast science fiction conventions and the arpanet, when he called himself "Eric the Flute".

He'd corner unsuspecting people at parties, hijack ongoing conversations, and insufferably yap on and on and on about it, to the exclusion of anything else, dissing all the other competing netnews readers. And he steadfastly refused to collaborate with anyone else or share it, and of course he never finished it either. Now he hates to even talk about it. If you run into him and want to make him shut up, ask him about it and see how awkward his response is!
