One time doing a search I stumbled upon a mysterious sixth Discussion Group that no longer exists called All About John. It contained a thread called "Getting into some Conan" or something like that.

'All About John' was a brief sub-forum which was devoted to the actions of former office manager John Novotny.

There were only ever a couple of threads but they were hilarious.
