How about a not-so-powerful ex-imm who debugged some of their obviously circle
code? I was a guest imm for maybe 2 visits (where I realized they had ripped
their credits) after helping them with some coding problems. I had also been
discussing letting them test a new patch I was working on since they were
running pl11 at the time which was what I was also working on.

Rondu is the coder. I don't recall a Sylvian, but that was quite a while ago.
I believe I've received mail both from rondu@mercia.net and a foreign domain
which may have been gibnet.gi. I'll have to dig a little deep in my email
archives to know for sure.

Unless Mek's had a change of heart, that's a dead end. He'd be using my code
right now if he didn't value his cash more than the license.
More info to come as I find it, probably including Mek's real full name.
