Just as we all suspected but it's a good thing you didn't confirm it for
us before now, it kept us all feeling like busy little SAM detectives :)
I must dig up some of Bob's old posts and read again his indignant
denials of the whole thing!

Any idea who Ken Elston is?
Just wondering as he seemed to share an email address with "Samsboss"?
IIRC Mr R P Brenchley's father.
Bob used the name as a pseudonym in format, he even published some of
my stuff under that name, and later as an alias on here.
Bob and I fell out a few times over his use of multiple personas which
I did, and still do, feel is wrong. I tried to treat it as a game but
with hindsight I see that many here did not think it was a good game.
Now that so much time has passed I don't have any qualms about saying
what I believe to be the truth, but as I said elsewhere, even I don't
know the whole story.
When I first started on-line Bob let me use the samsboss account on
pipeline as the news feed from my own isp was crap, hence many people
thought I was samsboss.
I believe that he was also Bill Ritman but I never got him to admit
that to me. Again IIRC Ritman is his uncle or some such aquaintance.
I never said any of that. You've not seen me, you never heard it from
me. OK :-)
