Hey, I'm looking for something, and I was hoping that my fellow Pubbers could help me find it;

There was a document a while back- I remember it being around the advent of 4th edition, but I'm not completely sure. It wasn't official, but it was a conversation with all the 'old voices' from Shadowrun- Dunklezhan, Lowfyr, Fastjack, Captain Chaos- using all their classic handles rather than their real names.

I ask because I mentioned to another Shadowrun GM that Smiling Bandit was/is Harlequin, and he flipped out because he had no idea. I wanted to get him a list of who the other 'big names' were, and this document seemed like a good way to do it.

Anyone else remember this? Or have any idea what I'm talking about?

I do recall something along those lines.  The fact that it doesn't jump to the front of my cortex means either I never fully read it, or I'm getting old :P

I'll look through my archives to see if I had saved this treasure.

Now that I've been thinking about it, it may have been written as accessing Shadowland, and be obliquely referring to shortcomings of SR4... or at least the culling of the familiar faces from Shadowrun sourcebooks (and by faces, I mean names).

I know it was done because all too often new writers would insert themselves into the story (or you know, their charactes- same thing), and so the fiction had grown complicated. But I like the idea of a BBS or website open to everyone with enough skill to get through the door.

If you have it, cool, if not no problem.
