I do raise the trickster there. You can find a pdf of it out there too if you google for it.
I'd be interested in reading whatever academic writing that was, if you find it.
they showed up to my place once. the guy said to contact him after i graduated if i was looking for work, lol.
for what it's worth, they had binders and binders full of efnet logs.
