Mistah Rick sprang into being in May 1995 in an interoffice e-mail from a close friend . . .

I have decided that you are "Mistah Rick" from now on, because it sounds like a Joseph Conrad character. Some hardbitten suntanned grizzled character, with a surface of taciturn cynicism and reaches of heroism within.

This is the way that virtual legends begin.
