I remember once upon a time WAAAAY back in the mid-90s I think, when I was having a problem with my Voodoo2 graphics driver and Quake.
I posted the problem on one of the Newsgroups at the time and got my reply back from John Carmack himself (which naturally fixed the problem pretty quickly.)
I remember being extremely excited then, as I'm sure the questioner is now on SO.
I too had a similar experience. Asked a question about cron in a newsgroup and got a response from Vixie. It was a small world then, perhaps it will be again as the SNR gets better.
