His name was Mike and he
seemed to have lost interest
immediately after he lost
his paid support gig w/JP
when Rex bought Tom out.

… and his surname was Bessy. Some posts, strangely dated from not so
long ago, can be seen in a very old thread at
http://www.tonews.com/topic/2167997/start/40/4dos/changes_at_jp_software.html

... about an interesting person and interesting times at jp software.
I'd like to know what became of Mike. I cannot find any mention of him
(what might possibly be him and not somebody with the same name) on
the net, and that, I think, is very unusual for somebody like him.

Can it be that he so permanently lost his internet access? Or has he
just changed his online persona and lived happily ever after?

Well, that does seem to be him at the www.tonews.com link above. But
I don't understand what www.tonews.com is. Is it a web access portal
to Usenet groups? I certainly don't recall seeing the very recent
"Changes at JP Software" thread posted here. Or is it some kind of
alternate Usenet universe?

Well, I just took a closer look at the first post in the above thread
and see that the dates at www.tonews.com are clearly wrong. Here's the
first message

Changes at JP Software

Post by mike on Mon Oct 25, 2010 4:45 pm

Please note that, for the first time in 15 years and effective
05-Aug-2004, I am no longer affiliated with JP Software.
===============

The "Post...on" date is obviously off by over 6 years.

They are all from 2004. That's why Michael called them "strangely
dated" :-)

Yes, I didn't understand what he meant at first because I started
reading the thread a few messages after the first. I thought Mike
Bessy was just reminiscing about those days. Then I saw the first
message which actually mentioned a date in the body of the post.
