unknown guy on the Internet who guessed Maggie shot Mr. Burns

In the first commentary on the season 7 DVDs they said this guy posted on Sep. 17 1995 and got it right but they couldn't find him. I went through Google's USENET archive and it came back with no posts for that day...has anyone else tried it? Must be aproblem with Google cause a.t.s was pretty active even back then I think.

It was Xino Kiner.

Actually, there's no guarantee that it was a college student; some universities (North Carolina and Denver come to mind) let non-students obtain free Telnet accounts, which is how a lot of people (myself included) accessed alt.tv.simpsons before things like Netcom became popular and AOL was connected to the Internet.

Looks like it's time to update my "even yet still another Simpsons FAQ" to include the known periods where there are no alt.tv.simpsons posts (except when cross-posted to other groups) on Google Groups.

The unknown guy was Darren Hayes only later to become an international pop Icon

Well I found this post. Maybe this is the one they are talking about:

You fools! It was Maggie!! After Marge left her in the car, she had plenty of time to grab Grandpa's gun, get stilts and a cape so that she seemed bigger and scarier, and then find Mr. Burns.

She probably wanted Bobo back...

I don't know, on the commentary for "Who Shot Mr. Burns Pt. 1" they said that they have been contacted an hour after the show aired and that the guy has worked out *all* the clues. This quote from Hershel sounds like he was just taking a *very* rough guess

Dunno if they corrected this on the 7th season dvd but I don't think it was this one...sorry
