Talk Host used to pop in at the Crispers' 3rd Friday late lunches and I heard he sometimes would pay for these.
I got introduced to Talk of the Villages when Talk Host did a speech on it back in July of 2007 in front the Villages Computer Club.
Findlaw had run out of gas for a vehicle for my 224 613 Project so I thought that TOTV might work for what I had hoped to do from around 1992 onward. I have jumped out onto other means of communication. Always looking for another canvas to paint on so to speak.
I did have a lot of exchanges with Tony and Talk Host via messages. Tony was Talk Host's partner, I think. Not sure.
A gal, Donna, just down the street was very much into Talk of the Villages. She was quite nice but had a husband who was a helicopter charter pilot up north.
She passed though in late 2011. She was very big into paranormal stuff and I sometimes wonder if she is watching TOTV from somewhere.
ZCaveman and I were into a lot of the same stuff-- FunTrivia, NFL pools, etc. He ran a great NFL Survivor League and did all the work himself.

I remember well all the "co ordinated attacks" that took place in the past. I think they still exist, but I sure do not know because I stepped back a bit. Well, they still exist but in a different format.
Talk Host and Tony were both good guys who were very honest and straight forward about everything. Neither felt they had all the answers to anything. The forum was much smaller then but they were available in a lot of ways, and solicited help from members who were participants,
Important to note. A contributor, since passed, admitted to me about coordinated attacks from his group, and I was actually involved in being solicited to do such things, and did so on one occasion in the past, I openly admit. Not proud of it, but I did it.
I get a 'chuckle'.....well, not really because it is not funny, reading the "holier than thou" posts on here from folks who were very heavily involved in those antics. Lots of hypocritical folks.
Missing largely are the folks with information to share and also that you know read what you post or link to, even knowing they may not agree.....they always read and responded.....not so much on here anymore. Links simply get you mocked and means nothing.
