Subj : Holy Toledo To : Tim Richardson From : Lee Lofaso Date : Sun Sep 27 2015 05:01:48 Hello Tim, [..] >> Roy was an idiot. TR> Witt wasn't well-liked by many. That depends on whether you were on the sending or receiving end. You have to remember that Roy was a product of the flame echoes. I didn't really mind him, as I understood where he was coming from. But some folks did not understand (and never wanted to understand). TR> I strongly suspect that a large part of that was his setup was such that TR> none of the `usual suspects' in the North American Backbone could shut him TR> down. He did have brains enough not to trust others to feed him the messages he wanted. If other sysops thought along the same lines as him there would be no NAB (or any other demented power structure within fidonet) to speak of. TR>>> This absence is not normal for him. Especially when seeing `my' TR> name in TR>>> the *from* field in a message in his echo. TR>>> Something's wrong or he'd have come out swinging by now. Somebody TR>>> should check on him to see if he's all right. >> Given his sudden disappearance from cyberspace, and no obituary >> having been published, along with his web page having been taken >> offline, leads me to believe that either his computer died and he >> decided not to return to cyberlife, or that he gave his computer >> to the needy and decided not to return to cyberlife. TR> All the same, someone should check on his wellbeing. A few years ago I posted a message to all in this echo about Sue Alexander, citing her obituary. She was a published author, and nationally known. Yet a certain "castrati" crowd, led by an amateur shit stirring troll, continues to claim that I made it all up. Despite the fact that I had clearly cited my source. There are other examples that come to mind. The point is, those who have no argument are left with nothing but personal attacks. And that impresses no one. Kind of like jerking off. I mean, really. Do you beat your meat? Be honest ... >> I lost a computer thanks to Katrina. I lost another computer >> thanks to Rita. Living in an area prone to hurricanes, I takes >> my chances. Sometimes my computer lives, sometimes it dies. >> OTOH, what most probably happened was Bob Klahn upgraded to >> Windows 10. And then he got the `Something Else' screen ... TR> Or he might have just dropped out of Fido. Something I've considered for TR> quite a while myself. And if he did, who can blame him? On the other hand, there are plenty of folks who can blame him. But not until they blame Obama first. After all, everything is Obama's fault. Can't have it any other way. Just can't. :) Check your email for a nice little surprise. --Lee --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2) .
