I have been trying to think of his screen name all day. I liked him too. I met him at Crisper's.


Also, I can't think of the screen name of a guy (tall, youngish, gray hair) who was so helpful about IT issues. He also passed away a number of years ago. A number of us kept up with him via email as he was battling cancer. Maybe Gracie remembers.

Rubicon

The Guy who wrote the Nuts and Bolts of The Villages. Excellent person. On to his Eternal Reward. Just remembered Zcaveman.

Bonnie

CWGUY

Wiotte A.K.A. = 100 other names. :1rotfl:

Chatbrat, always interesting and a nice guy in person.

Who else can you think of? Some bring a smile others bring some bad memories especially one which I hope we don't see the name in writing.

Allegiance

dbussone

ABBY10

FW10207

Barefoot

Some fond memories for me on my list.

I hope they are all thriving and healthy. :pray:

He developed a really comprehensive handout covering every possible detail for newbies making the move to TV. I still offer it and give it to newcomers when I meet them. Very thorough—and he even revised it periodically depending on what changed.

Geewiz’s name was Gary. He retired from SSA in Chicago.

"One time he asked a question and I typed a reply and his response was, I asked you for the time and you built me a watch, shorten up your replies Nucky."

Love that!! I must remember that - it may or may not apply.:icon_wink:

I'm new to TV and have enjoyed hearing about many historical characters!!

Wiotte/RickeyD is probably still half of the current active members, under a gazillion new names.ha-ha I also miss Coldnomore, as at least he wasn't part of the echo chamber that so often rears its head around here and provided links and facts to back his unpopular dissenting views - which made a lot of the extremists look pretty silly. Of course, doing that just meant his time was limited. lol
i remember cold-no-more, i had some good chats with him, & we didnt need to agree on things to get along. a truly nice guy

Bill and Brillo
Kathiel
Talkhost
Tony
Bonny
Barefoot
2BNTV
Many others whose handles escape me.

Also; swrinfla. Steve from St. Louis - met him at a TOTV get together at Crispers in 2010 or 2011. Good poster and really fine gentleman. And "………………
RichieLion. The most argumentative poster to ever appear on this board. Used to enjoy tangling with him on the politics board, but he disappeared when the poly board was closed down the first time.

Chatbrat pushed a lot of buttons. Wondering what happened to him?

I remember he was our resident restaurant critic and he liked top shelf Vodka.

I met him at Xfinity one day. We spoke for a while. Totally different than the curmudgeon he was on the Forum.

Great guy. I hope he's ok also.
