    I sure as hell hope not - his Facebook feed indicates he's very much alive.
    But I do think you're right, there's another one.

    It was actually a moderator action that led us toward becoming friends. Before I'd totally outed myself, before we connected on Facebook, he got pretty heated one night and was "asked" to take some time off. Not by me, this was before I had admin responsibilities.

    Anyway, he sleuthed it out and got an email address for me (not the SJModerator at aol one) and opened with "this is the hardest I've worked to say 'fuck you' to someone!" He did it in a way that drew a laugh and we had a good conversation that became a who you know in the business and on and on and on. He was one of my first Facebook friends.

    I was thinking today after reading all the this happened/that happened posts on the other thread. No shit a lot has happened. We've been around a while. If you had a kid the year this site started, you'd be preparing that kid for high school now. The site has hang time and will continue to hang because at its core, through changes and problems and squabbles, it is a good place with mostly good people.

    How about sportswriter?

    That probably adds to the cryptic tone of this part of the thread.

    All true. And when you see posts from spnited, SF_Express and the others today, it's still sound advice, as if from that big newsroom in the sky ...

    Great story Moddy. Thx for posting. We've been around so long we can now adequately evaluate the 2003 NFL draft to
    Tim's standards.

    Hammered, full of antibiotics and my recollection could very well be off, but seems Saturday mornings spnited and Fenian would be most likely be logged on.

    I'm in the same demo, and it was fun riffing off stuff until more members came online and the conversations shifted, which was fine. The Lennon Sisters and which one we liked best was not going to get much run, again, fine.

    Nothings stays the same, and 2006 sj.com isn't walking through that door.

    Think tomorrow I'll buy some Heineken and have a few. Leinenkugel as well.

    Onward.

    Oh, Fenian...miss that dude's rapport. I was away from the board when he left (?) and have never encountered the why (and realize it's uncouth to ask).
