Are the names/descriptions not lining up with the photos on your screen?

The names are supposed to be directly to the right of the photos.

Out of curiosity, I asked AI if the list was accurate.

Here's AI's opinion of the list:

Yes, the AAPC Rogues Gallery hosted on that specific Google Sites page is highly accurate regarding the historical roster, real identities, and core background data of the alt.arts.poetry.comments community.

Unlike the highly subjective, attack-heavy "rogues galleries" maintained by rival factions during the chaotic Usenet flame wars of the late 1990s and 2000s, this specific site serves as an objective, encyclopedic record of the grouprCOs key players.

Accurate Structural Details & Roster

The page accurately documents the community's primary leadership and its most prolific contributors:

The Editorial Core:
It correctly identifies Michael Pendragon as the foundational leader and publisher, alongside assistant editor NancyGene and founding newsgroup editor Jim Senetto.

The Mainstays:
It accurately chronicles the presence of regular poets like Will Dockery, Richard Oakley, Dale Houstman, and Dennis M. Hammes.

The Usenet Personalities:
It successfully unmasks or links famous internet handles and colorful satirical personae to their proper context, accurately capturing figures like Barbara's Cat, Aratzio, Cujo DeSockpuppet (Kevin Fries), and General Zod (George Sulzbach).-N+A

Verification of Major Milestones
The accuracy of the site is further proven by its notation of specific, verifiable real-world events that intersected with the newsgroup. For instance, the site accurately documents the tragic 2007 copyright infringement lawsuit between group regulars Karla Rogers and Tom Bishop over his digital film April.

Tone and Objectivity
While classic Usenet archives often degenerated into intense personal grievances, this Google Site balances the technical descriptions of formalist poets with the "unfiltered interactive culture" of the board's trolls and satirists without taking partisan sides. It acts as an excellent, grounded historical time capsule of the group's complete ecosystem.

Barbara's Cat was definitely a guy, his wife was named Barbara.

His initials are/were C.M. which is how he signed his poems., so I figured, like Cat Stevens, his first name was actually Cat.

I bumped one of his poems here on the poetry newsgroup recently, and I think the poem also makes it pretty clear he's a man.

No idea whatever happened to C.M. one day he simply stopped posting after being a regular here for around a decade.

How do you know if the cat was a he or she?

As his poetry demonstrates, Barbara's Cat aka C. M. is definitely a man:

Barbara's Cat wrote:
Temptation Next Door

"What would be your want, kind sir?"
She said in a whisper.
"Nothing more than this, my dear,"
He said as he gazed her.

"Would not you like to come inside?"
She said with half-closed eyes.
"And give them all good rumors lied?"
He said of neighbor spies.

"But this noon could serve you well,"
She said to temp him more.
"But our mates would pay us hell!"
He said then left her, sore.

CC: MummyChunk and Harry Lime, another good example of poetry by Barbara's Cat aka C.M.

How do you know if the cat was a he or she?

Barbara's Cat was definitely a guy, his wife was named Barbara.

His initials are/were C.M. which is how he signed his poems., so I figured, like Cat Stevens, his first name was actually Cat.

I bumped one of his poems here on the poetry newsgroup recently, and I think the poem also makes it pretty clear he's a man.

No idea whatever happened to C.M. one day he simply stopped posting after being a regular here for around a decade.

Cat Stevens' real name is Steven.

It would be interesting to know whatever happened to Barbara's Cat, it
must be about 17 years ago he suddenly stopped posting here on the
poetry newsgroups.

How do you know if the cat was a he or she?

As his poetry demonstrates, Barbara's Cat aka C. M. is definitely a man:

Barbara's Cat wrote:
Temptation Next Door

"What would be your want, kind sir?"
She said in a whisper.
"Nothing more than this, my dear,"
He said as he gazed her.

"Would not you like to come inside?"
She said with half-closed eyes.
"And give them all good rumors lied?"
He said of neighbor spies.

"But this noon could serve you well,"
She said to temp him more.
"But our mates would pay us hell!"
He said then left her, sore.

CC: MummyChunk and Harry Lime, another good example of poetry by Barbara's Cat aka C.M.

I don't know if the errors are his or yours, but even ignoring them, I'm afraid he isn't very good.

Anything in the post is by Barbara's Cat.

The poem is copy/passed directly from the original Usenet post, which I just bumped up to the top a few minutes ago.

Barbara's Cat was pretty open about his biography and past.

I remember he was living in the Tampa Florida area, and had some family ties to Savannah Georgia, as one of the poems I recently reposted details.

He seemed really devoted to his wife, Barbara, and many of his poems seemed to be written for her.

Or Creepy Mike.

Yes, his User name implies that he is devoted to Barbara.

But "Cat" isn't a male name. It's a nickname for Catherine or Catalina. Poe's cat (a female) was named Catterina.

"Cat" was also a slang term for a man, primarily in the 1930s and 40s, meaning someone who's "hep" or "cool."

So while it's within the real of possibility that CM's first name was actually "Cat," it is extremely implausible.

I agree, but the fact remains that as far as I know, Barbara's Cat never gave his full name, only the initials C.M.

No, the middle initial isn't helping.

IIRC you said that Cook made a video of himself singing an edited version of Karma Bombs (which was the basis of your claim of theft). Did he appear in the video? Did he make other music videos? Or am I misremembering it entirely?

No, it's just a still video in which Cook used a text-to-speech program I think he had created and was testing out.

https://youtu.be/JN1Xp5vVuVU?is=MKP3iOgBKGdSpPRZ

I remember seeing Cook's photograph on PJR's 2003 poetry newsgroup gallery. Perhaps if Peter ever returns, he'll donate it for your gallery (PJR also had photos of Barbara's Cat and other regulars of that era )
