I don't recall ISIS' flamewars (or whatever), but I do recall seeing
tons of (her | his?) posts. I picked up a lot of good stuff under her
banner, and I especially liked her NZB group, which kept a huge number
of her NZB links handy. I think she may have uploaded her stuff to
personal space on the server(s), so it wouldn't fall off as normal
stuff during general attrition of posts. Not sure of that. Perhaps the
absence of those flamewars may be nice, but she did have some good
material, and it probably won't be too much longer before her uploads
are rolling off servers.
Don't recall 'Vampire' at all. Don't always keep handles in mind.
