    I think that’s one of those details that the original journalists didn’t pick up on, because they had a limited amount of time. If they’d been on any of the more active BBSes (or had net.access) and hung out for longer than, if I had to guess, a week doing research they might have picked up on it.

    Or maybe their editors cut that part. Hard to say.
