I did an Internet Hunt to find out relyable information about Rick Gates. Some more sources are noted at the German Wikipedia article's discussion page. The original posting of october 22 is not available in Google's usenet archive so please don't use it without comment as in Interpedia! Soon my sources will also get lost and all remaining is a Wikipedia article full of non-checkable myths - welcome to the age of digital oblivion. Well, at least Rick Gates is probably still alive so you could ask him. -- Nichtich 09:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC) reply
