William James (June 8, 1951 – March 31, 1992), was an American photographer and founder of painting selling company Tapequest. He is most known for being the king of Usenet, achieving mass recognition on the forums and even being frequent there himself, going by the online alias Alex Patrizi.
Death
William would as a child steal alcohol from neighbors and get drunk when nobody was around. He developed an addiction and died from alcohol poisoning in March 1992. Usenet was quick to mourn the loss of a great Internet father.
