What I was like in real life in 1999
According to two different people from a newsgroup where I was then a regular. You might ask, why would I post this? To whom could this possibly be of interest? Why now, anyway? Those are good questions.

Wow, that scorch woman really nailed it, as they say. Now we just have to get you drinking triple cappuccinos.

It's of interest to me. Though the question is how similar you are now to the Ben Wolfson of 1999. Or even the Ben Wolfson of yesterday.

At that time I didn't have a trenchcoat or boot-like shoes, but I was coveting a glass pen (those things are expensive!). She was right in general, not so much in particular (except in the particulars wherein she was right).

You sound alarmingly like a good friend of mine from high school, whose name is also Ben. He's now making fancy waves at a fancy law school, and will probably be able to do whatever he wants, including run for public office, though he swears that's a route he has no interest in.

Ok, that second description scares me. And I so do not picture you as the neighborhood pub's Falstaff figure.
I'm gonna stick with my own impressions and ignore what other people say. As usual.

The second one's not far off, except of course for the inexplicable coffee shop bit.

Your having had a quintuple espresso that one time makes up for my not drinking coffee.

I thought the second one was from someone who knew Wolfson IRL.

Yeah, that was great.

Somehow, I don't think you're a Pisces, Ben.

That's odd, since I am. Not that I put any weight in such blatant flimflammery.

Hmm.

When was your online persona born?

Pisceans are notorious for disbelief in astrology.
