If you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000 and haven’t heard the original 500-mile email story, you can read it at https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles.

I got curious what Trey Harris (the original 500 mile story teller) was up to these days, but Google mostly finds me a football player born around that time (2002).

Presumably this is the author given their UNC and SysAdmin background: https://www.linkedin.com/in/treyharris

I found it via a "trey harris sage.org" search on Google.
