You mean with 9fans playing the role of Bernard Black?  Could
be -- if you squint a bit.... Black Books is an anarchic place,
with piles of books, cartons of old takeouts, an odd jam
sandwich stuck to the ceiling and so on. Not an image one
associates with Plan 9! And Bernard is more Ignatius J.
Reilly than any of the 9fans (that I know of).
