I don't know this guy, I reckon, but it sounds like his return is a good thing. Any smut you can spread about him before he gets here to object? :plot:

Ah. Of course. The upper-case 'L' and missing '_rcc' (which I never understood in the first place) threw me.

Hi all,

Thank you all for the kind words. I am glad to be back.

As to why the _rcc behind my name, it is a legacy from when I was a committee member of the Roosendaalse Computer Club (rcc). Later on I used it as Remote Controlled Carnage when I started building battlebots.
