I'm right there with you and I'm 15 years older. I've read the first two wizards, Reminiscences, both Mark Douglass books, McMillians options tome and on a nice beach day in the 90's Pit Bull.
I thought you knew this Pabst? This thread is turning interesting! I have to say that Pabst was absolutely, positively the first person on ET to recognize that I have trading talent. He went so far as to say something like, "if he isn't managing money, he should be". And he didn't know my background either when he said that, I think. I also remember him and I beating the same political horn in 2003-2004, although I have since retired from the ET political board. Anyway, Pabst and RM are amongst a very few people that keep me here in this zoo.
I can't say this with 100% certainty, but I'll make the call before someone else beats me to it: I've recognized the patterns, and I think 'nakatani' is none other than ET's master troll himself: LoZZZer!
