how to look up old contributions?

Hi everybody,

My name is Nils Deslé. You may remember me from such classics as 'The
Old Troy McClure Simpsons In-joke' or 'The Belgian Overlord Takes Over
The World'.

I used to be quite active in this froup a couple of years ago, and I
am happy to see that there are still some names here I recognize. Hi
guys! Remember me?

Of course, this post does not mean I am back or anything, so there's
no need to revive the fan club just yet. My life is way too crowded to
let rhod inside again, I just wanted to tap your collective
consciousness to answer a simple question. Come to think of it,
perhaps I should have asked the Oracle. But then again, having
participated in it myself, I know that getting a usefull answer is
about as likely as Belgium winning the Eurovision Song Contest this
year, or indeed, any year.

Anyway, the question I wanted to ask is the following:
Is there a way to recover all the Oracle question/answer pairs I have
answered in the past?

I'm not interested in the ones other people did, just mine. The little
narcicist inside of me has temporarily gained access to the head. The
problem will be resolved as soon as we have finished staring at that
dashing person in this here shiny mirror.

From a technical point of view, all my incarnations (then) were from a
certain e-mail adres to which I don't have access anymore, so it'd
have to be through some web interface I guess. Is this at all possible
and if not, who do I need to give a kicking to get it done?

Thanks!

Run for elective office. Someone will dig them up for you.

You owe the Oracle... wait, you wanted a useful answer. Sorry.

Nilsy!

Yay! Hey, can you stop on your way home tonight and see if you can wake
Lars up too? He's practically your neighbor, right? Only one or two
little countries away.

BTW, That was a good intro. The first of the 12 steps is admitting you
have a problem.

Pretty much, an email to Kinzler is the only way I know of. He can change
your stored email addy to something current, and tell you what they were.
Once you get a current addy, there was a search engine that one of the
Priests (Russ, I think) had that would email the list to a current
address, but I don't know if it's still around.

'Course, I wouldn't prolly mention to SK that you're a Windows freak.

Nils! We missed you! (but our aim is improving.)

You're here. Ergo, you're back. Or maybe you're front.

We won't take up that much space, I swear. Just a little corner,
you'll hardly notice us. Well, except for Candiru and his cooler. Him,
you'll definitely notice

And you expect something different from us?

Dunno. Ask the Oracle's oracle? aka Kinzler?

Selfish...

If you're truly a narcissist, then you're also a solipsist. In which
case by definition all oracularities, both questions and answers, are
yours. Problem solved, just get all of them.

Yes, I think that's the best approach.

Ah, and can you tell me this address, or should I go to the website
for the Oracle and find it there?

I'm a computer freak, don't care what OS! Ok, maybe I enjoy ribbing
Unix zealots the wrong way occasionally, but that's just because
they're such an easy target!

They sure were. After posting this I spent a few happy hours looking
up old threads in google groups. We had fun then, didn't we?

I'll try. I'm starting a new job this wednesday though, and my wife is
due to give birth to our 3rd child in 6 weeks, so time is scarce...

This would not be the same cooler DMP used to... erm... frequent?

Well, I know that *some* of you are nice, intelligent and good
looking. For small values of 'some'. I think. Maybe?

I strongly suggest we stop her, at this rate we'll be up to our asses in
little Nilses in no time.

In most countries, it's illegal to marry outside your species.

Triplets. So far, anyway. It's been a very long labor.
