From: hamlet@tamuts.tamu.edu (Jeffrey Lynn Holsinger) Newsgroups: alt.ql.creative Subject: Roundtable Story B-2, Author's notes Date: 10 Mar 1994 18:57:50 -0600 Organization: Texas A&M University, College Station Message-Id: <2lofme$llh@tamuts.tamu.edu> References: <2lfose$frs@tamuts.tamu.edu> <2loeua$l8a@tamuts.tamu.edu> I got information from the following sources: The headlines, and information on the political climate etc, I got from the Chicago paper from February 9, 1987. (On microfilm) The specific statute on the Computer and Information act of 1985, I got from Electronic Frontier Foundation's gopher server. I also checked in with the Quantum Leap primer and episode list available via anonymous FTP at cisco.com. The character of Billy is based on a conglomoration of friends, whose names (last and middle) he had. Dan was based upon the guy I knew in junior high named Brad who was a big, dumb bully. Jeff was not based on me (except for the name ;-> ), but was based on this guy I knew named Warren, who wasn't anything if not slick. And the character of Lynne is based on several Lynn's I know, but mostly on one of my best friends, Anne. I think there is a real problem of gossip ruining people (especially women) in many school-type environments. I just felt like that needed to be said. Take it easy play it safe and be careful. -Jeff Holsinger coming soon......
