Aw, shucks. I just stumbled into this and can at least clarify a few things: Yes, GIB is in my past. :( Yes, I was Jeremy Claptrap. :) I've done a lot of things (GIB, Dr.Fill crossword program, math, computer scientist, run a couple of startups, had a play produced, stunt pilot, husband and father) but I think that's mostly because I'm old and get bored easily. I would love to be thought of as a Renaissance man, and am very flattered to even see my name mentioned in the same breath as that phrase. I don't know how self-promoting I am. If anyone wants to reach me, you can get me at maybetemporary /at/ gibware.com. As long as I leave the address active, that is. :) Thanks! Matt Ginsberg
