A Working Theory

Ugly messages then began to appear. Obscene messages. These messages were delivered by several different 'personalities' one of which I remember was, Michael Jackson. I thought (and still think)  that the stalker was actually sending those messages. I doubt that it was the kid programmer. I formulated a working theory: the S.O.B. was probably a Jewish chessplayer. I also figured that the S.O.B. (back then the word, 'stalker' was not part of my vocabulary) knew about the back door (there were rumors) and had discovered the secret of how to enter. Now that I think about it, it is almost funny: the stalker was as queer as a three dollar bill and wanted to enter my back door. Almost funny. Not quite.
 
Two other elements of my working theory were that (1) the S.O.B. was somebody I knew and whose voice I would recognize. (2) the S.O.B. knew something about the law.
