I've got something real special for you guys today. Jonathan Pater, better known to most people as CowboyNeal, has agreed to do an interview with us. Given the source, we're going to do this in the "Slashdot-style" (for want of a better term) where you can post your questions below, we'll select our favorites and pass them on to him. Though he is quite busy, we've got the CowboyNeal account reserved for him just in case, so if you see it posting, know that's the real deal.
I'd also like to thank mrcoolbp for getting in contact with CowboyNeal, and recommend everyone thank him for helping setting up this opportunity. Now, let's get those questions going folks!
Note: Feel free to ask multiple questions, but please: only one question per post.

Why would we want to ask CowboyNeal anything?

Well, he was an editor, programmer, and sysadmin over on slashdot for many years. Given our history, I thought we might be curious to pick his brain.

Okay. I honestly didn't know what connection he had to "over there" other than being the resident default poll option, and that didn't seem like something worthwhile to inquire about.

Q: "Who are you? Describe yourself briefly for fresh soylentils who may not know you."
You can always Google the info [google.com], but I find the question pertinent and he may answer better than an algorithm sorting unverified facts [soylentnews.org].

Someone submit the interview as a story on Slashdot.

Seeing as this is just a copy of /. story (http://news.slashdot.org/story/01/02/12/1617256/ask-the-man-behind-the-legend---cowboy-neal), it would just be buried as a dupe.

I second that sentiment.
It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.

Yes, it's me. Sorry for the late reply, 'been cookin' fava beans and searching for the right bottle of chianti.

Why was this modded troll? TFA doesn't explain who the hell he is and until somebody below explained his identity I had no clue who he was other than a poll option, so it seems like a legitimate question to me. Not everybody keeps up with who the big muckety mucks are at websites ya know. I mean how many here can name ALL the guys in charge of THIS site? Only ones I know of are Mighty Buzzard and NCommander, sorry if I didn't spell the last one right.
