It's been a few weeks since TDD posted. He's been
in and out of hospital, and I'm concerned for him.
Sadly, I don't even know his first name ("the")
nor much else. Birmingham Alabama, that's a start.

Anyone know a bit more about the situation?

I guess that narrows it down, a bit. Thank you.

It's amazing how much you miss him...it has been a few Months (May 22) since he responded here! (and his name is Dufus, ya dufas!)

Seems like his real name was Eustace Duffas.

The man is thinking much the same. I am concerned
that TDD may have reached the end of his mortal
stay. If this proves to be true, I'd like do
something, however small, to honor the man.

You are, by asking about him. But, if he is gone, it would be nice to let
his friends nearby where he lived know he was appreciated on the web.

I am acquainted (online) with a person who may be able to find out the
status of TDD. I'll see if I can get the info and let you know, but I
can't promise any results, all I can do is ask. It's nice of you to be
concerned.

We all die sooner or later. Given the ages of the old folks hangering
around here, it is more likely "sooner". Get used to it.

Usenet is a dying medium. Virtually all of us have been cut off by our
ISPs, and have had to find other providers. Groups that once thrived
have withered and disappeared. I look around and neither my wife, nor
my children, even knows that usenet exists, much less that the alter ego
I choose to use to fight spam, is me, or that I read these groups. If I
find a posting that I think would interest someone, I forward it, and
when they receive it it is as an email. I doubt they research it and
find out about usenet.

When my time comes, I think my last thoughts will be of something other
than posting my imminent demise.

So when someone goes missing, my thoughts are that they have either lost
interest, forgotten their password, or moved on. I think that is the
nature of usenet.

By contrast, I participate in a web-based forum about events in my town,
and they make us use our actual name, so someone is bound to note my
passing and post it, so the others can rush over and steal my tools.

Both TDD (Birmingham) and Heybub (Houston -sometimes referred to as
Jerry) had mentioned medical conditions, emergencies,
hospitalization, prior to their no longer posting. They both posted in
another group regularly. Each had a unique style, so I'm guessing
they did not change nyms, etc., they would not be able to hide. I
enjoyed reading their postings. They could eat liberals lunch.

Yes, it doesn't sound good, but who knows. There are a couple of
others that have disappeared, including one of those fellows from
Canada. I too enjoyed TDD and Heybub and will miss them.

Good to hear you're OK and back!





Hillary Clinton: I haven't driven a car since 1996


Hillary went to Iowa last week, where she was beaten badly and
unexpectedly in their primary last time she ran. She got up to
the podium and shouted "Hello Iowa.....I'm back!" They say Bill
was dozing off, suddenly woke up and yelled at the young blonde
next to him "Oh ****....you better get out of here quick!"

Anybody remember a guy named Speedy Jim, a plumber by trade? He was
from Louisiana (Coon Ass) and funny as all get out.
