I've never seen Gary Grigsby ever post anywhere about his games on any forum, newsgroup or website. Why is this? This is not an attack on Gary, I'm just curious.

Actually, I believe that Gary has posted in either Genie or Compuserve in the late '80s or early '90s. However, he's like Norm Koger ... he'd pop in, say a few words, then disappear for a few months.

If Gary posted here, what would Joel do? [;)] The couple times I met the guy (many years ago). He struck me as a pretty quiet taciturn sort, probably more comfortable programming than talking. Joel on the other hand likes explaining things.

I do know from Uncommon Valor days that Gary does read the forums on ocassions. I for one am glad he spends his time designing and programming, not posting.

He did participate in an "online chat" in this forum a month or two ago. It was pretty neat to hear him comment on GGWaW and WITP. He gave me the impression that working on WITP, especially the AI, was exhausting -- I think he used the word "nightmare." By contrast, he seemed pretty upbeat about the process of developing GGWaW.

The full transcript may be available somewhere here in these forums; I'm not sure.
