Hi Folks,

So, somebody here must remember:

Who was it who's USENET sig line referred to the "evil umpire," and what 
was the exact line?? (My Google Foo doesn't seem to be working today, or 
it happened too long ago to be indexed.)

I want to quote it in a piece I'm writing.

Cheers,

Miles Fidelman
