In the first commentary on the season 7 DVDs they said this guy posted
on Sep. 17 1995 and got it right but they couldn't find him. I went
through Google's USENET archive and it came back with no posts for that
day...has anyone else tried it? Must be aproblem with Google cause
a.t.s was pretty active even back then I think.

Actually, there's no guarantee that it was a college student; some
universities (North Carolina and Denver come to mind) let non-students
obtain free Telnet accounts, which is how a lot of people (myself
included) accessed alt.tv.simpsons before things like Netcom became
popular and AOL was connected to the Internet.
Looks like it's time to update my "even yet still another Simpsons
FAQ" to include the known periods where there are no alt.tv.simpsons
posts (except when cross-posted to other groups) on Google Groups.

The unknown guy was Darren Hayes only later to become an international
pop Icon

You fools! It was Maggie!! After Marge left her in the car, she had
plenty of time to grab Grandpa's gun, get stilts and a cape so that
she
seemed bigger and scarier, and then find Mr. Burns.
She probably wanted Bobo back...

I don't know, on the commentary for "Who Shot Mr. Burns Pt. 1" they said
that they have been contacted an hour after
the show aired and that the guy has worked out *all* the clues.
This quote from Hershel sounds like he was just taking a *very* rough guess
Dunno if they corrected this on the 7th season dvd but I don't think it was
this one...sorry

I just did a search on Google Groups for all posts on alt.tv.simpsons
in May 1995 and this came up.
