Well, that's what *I* thought, that Barry had been writing since long before he joined alt.m.t. I didn't remember telling Barry he should be a writer. I didn't even remember the Clint Eastwood story. I managed to track it down on alt.m.t, and the person who commented that Barry should be "a writer by trade" was one BobBNA, not moi. Sheesh, Lawson!
