Ed Dolan the Great has ever been the bulwark of ARBR, a newsgroup otherwise
totally unremarkable. But Greatness will out!
ARBR would now be as dead as the proverbial door nail if it were not for Ed
Dolan the Great. He is striving mightily to drag some others to the
newsgroup to save it from atrophy and decay. A more pitiful newsgroup has
never existed in the realm of Usenet. It has been our eternal misfortune to
attract nothing but Freds who live to go slow on their bikes and to boast
about how slow they are. Most of the members of ARBR also like to ramble on
a lot about things that seem to have no relevance to the world we are living
in. I attribute all of these phenomena to the fact that ARBRs' are old and
getting ready to fall into the grave. I do not believe we have ever had any
teenagers on this forum.
Ed Dolan the Great will carry on even though the gates of Hell prevail
against him. Tom Sherman has left us, but apparently not for greener
pastures as I cannot find him anywhere on Usenet. And so we are left with
nothing but flotsam and jetsam. But Ed Dolan the Great will soldier on
regardless of the tempests that reign internally.
Ed, you are just so Great! Many thanks for all you do for this newsgroup.
Without you it would be nothing but a graveyard. Yea, the headstones are all
about, but we are not yet dead! Ed Dolan the Great says full speed ahead -
and damn the torpedoes!

PS. Ed, we also appreciate your Great Saintliness. Holiness has fallen on
hard times of late and there is hardly anyone left to take on the human scum
that exists everywhere all around us. Keep up the good work!
