Re missing bio material on that site -- here's the last bio for "KOOGE".

Catch it while you can, it's already gone from the google cache, and I'd wager that if he's intentionally dusting over his tracks, the archive.org "footprints" will be removed before too long also. (They will remove from their archives upon request.)

Here's a list of his earlier bios, going back to October 2002. I haven't examined them, so I don't know how different they are from the last one (linked above), dated July 15, 2003.

Note:

To check out all available archives for any URL, simply preface the "http://" part with "http://web.archive.org/*/" in your browser's Address box.

The URL for all (available) archived versions of the "KOOGE" bio is therefore "http://web.archive.org/*/http://www.risingstartelecom.com/kooge_bio.html" (without the quotation marks!)

Here's the content of the last available "KOOGE" bio:

To: Don Joe; All

Thank you for that, Don Joe. At first glance, Kooge seems to have a perfectly fine bio. I will look more closely.

By the way, your home page is interesting. I took the liberty of posting the Hitchens piece below from your page. I missed this article when it appeared but I heard about it much, much later. Very apropros now, right?

The night of the weak knees

Christopher Hitchens
Wednesday December 5, 2001
The Guardian

Four weekends ago, I really did receive two Friday-night telephone calls from well-positioned Washingtonians. "Leave now," they told me. "There's a tactical nuke on the loose, and it's headed for DC." One of these callers was in a position to know, and the other was in a position where he was actually paid to know. Calls were being placed to an immediate circle of friends to which, in theory, I was flattered to belong. Those who were calling were also leaving - while not informing the rest of the citizens. Why, then, did I resolve to stay? It wasn't just British pluck, strong as that naturally is. I thought, first, that it was unlikely that al-Qaida, if it had the bomb, would have conducted a petty dress rehearsal with United Airlines. I thought, second, that the detonation of a "use it or lose it" freelance nuke could not be predicted for any given weekend. And I thought, third, that I would feel a colossal cretin if I fled and then came slithering back on Monday morning (especially if the nuclear holocaust was timed for Monday's rush hour after all). In the end, I did take the family on a pre-arranged trip to Gettysburg, leaving late and returning early.

Officially, nobody now remembers this night of the weak knees. It rated a brief and embarrassed mention in Hugh Sidey's Time column, and that was it. But I shall not forget how some of those in supposed authority decided that the end had come, and made it a point to keep it to themselves and their immediate friends, perhaps to stop the crowding of the roads. That's how it will be on the day of Armageddon, and that's why the citizen should always plan to outlive the state, rather than the other way round.
