I swear I can remember anonymously posting parts of this to Slashdot, some time in 2000. My intention was just to make noise with it. I think I even got First Post. Now I can't find any evidence of it, either with Google or with Slashdot's search page. It seems to have simply disappeared down the memory tubes. There is nothing I can find in Slashdot's FAQ to confirm this, but it appears that for the really old stories in the archive they threw away all the -1 posts.
