I can't remember the exact context, and honestly I have no idea why I can remember that! For some reason it just stuck with me... come to think of it now, it's possible that the dude who gave the email address intended to give it to another person in chat, but it was definitely Pause who interjected to ask if he was born in that year. He said no lol and Pause reacted in his usual playful manner.
The map we were on at the time was definitely Zorro's black & white map. I miss your maps a lot, Zorro. When I first started playing DF2 online in 2005, I had known about you from MMH but never saw you in the game and figured you didn't play anymore, but I was a HUGE fan of your TDM CQB map pack, so when I finally ran into you in DF2 one day (2006?), I was seriously starstruck because I admired your maps so much -- they were so different, extremely well made and definitely my favorite.
