off the top of my head, these people were there when i was there (hope this
isn't telling tales out of school):

sf, sky, cshenk, anna, kent, boli, nb, jill, andy, triolus, chatty cathy
(afternoon edition), koko, trosk, chrisd (?) and some others i've no doubt
forgotten and to whom i apologize. i shoulda scribbled some indecipherable
notes on a cocktail napkin.

it was fun.
