Slightly off topic, but...

Once upon a time in usenet, there was a fellow named Koos Nolst Trenite: https://www.scientology-lies.com/event/1995-02-01/koos-nolst...

Koos transcended the bounds of reality by claiming to do Scientology "audits" clairvoyantly on L. Ron Hubbard, who was of course, dead by this time.

Is Koos any relation to Gerard? I could not google up an answer. I did find a "Gerardina Elise Nolst Trenite" (https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Gerardina_Nolst_Trenit%...) not clear if she is related or not.

There was a time when Koos Nolst Trenité and I walked the same street. For reasons I can't recall we struck up a conversation a few times. Nice guy.

I dug up his card to find his site; he seems to still be active there. http://www.angelfire.com/space/platoworld/
