 From a local perspective, didn't most people move from cbosgd to 
cblp(ef)?  Also, wouldn't most people here be more familiar with the old 
Zaphod, which was more involved with the larger Netnews than when cbosgd 
and Mary Ann (nee Mark) were dealing with the smaller net.news?  Well, 
actually _most_ people here in COLUG have probably never heard of any of 
these.

I had the privilege of hiring Mary Ann away from Lucent back in '02 and 
bringing her to (at the time) Bank One.  She left JPMC last year to go 
to California.
