I never read alt.fan.warlord. I do, however, have a 1994 copy from alt.config which begins as follows:
STANDARDIZED BONEHEAD REPLY FORM (original by David Parsons) (who stole it from George McQuary) (who shamelessly appropriated the idea from Dave Sweeney)
no subject
STANDARDIZED BONEHEAD REPLY FORM
(original by David Parsons)
(who stole it from George McQuary)
(who shamelessly appropriated the idea from Dave Sweeney)
I'll go ask David Parsons if he remembers more...
