There's that ... and the money he stole, which was donations intended to
support his ailing BBS.
[quote]
One day his BBS stopped running taking with it GaSpNet. He started
leaving messages on other BBS's of the then late GaSpNet begging for
donations to repair his BBS. After collecting a sizeable sum, (so it
was claimed), rather than repairing his BBS and going back on-line and
bringing his network back to life, he moved back east with the money.
He was the thirdsysop in the area to pull a stunt like that. Gary's
stunt marked the beginning of the end of BBS's in this area. Callers
and fellow sysops were nologer too willing to pay for BBS access or to
help a sysop in financial trouble keep his BBS running.

Then there's the episode where he stole a boxed commercial GNU/Linux
distro worth $29.95, specifically Mandrake 8.0, from CompUSA in July
2001, by copying the CD four times and passing the copies out to four of
his friends, then returning the original to CompUSA for a store credit:

For lack of anything else to do I took a trip to CompUSA and picked up
Mandrake 8.0 Standard edition. I had a copy of the downloaded version
but gave it away at some point. This is my review of what is considered
by many to be "the" state of the art in Linux distros, at least from an
ease of use and latest versions of programs perspective.

Of course you did.

I passed out copies of Mandrake 8.0 last week to 4 friends who were
curious about Linux. Amongst them they had IBM, Gateway and home built
clones and I am not certain of any hardware.

I think many people overlook the true value of what they get with
linux distros.

Flatty is a self-confessed thief, a stalker, a liar and a racist. Recent
exposure (not to mention years of perverted scribblings) also reveals he
may be a sexual deviant too:
[quote]
Gary would be approaching 60 years old or so from what I know. My
former colleague heard that his wife left him due to his clandestine
anonymous homosexual encounters as a cross dresser. We all knew that
he liked to swing both ways and back then it was pre-AIDS so random
encounters like that were not life threatening like they are now. He
showed up at a Halloween party once dressed as Jane Mansfield
complete with fake breasts.

He's quite a piece of work.
