  1. How is it possible for someone to be on newsgroup like forever and then
    suddenly to just leave without a word. If anyone knows what has become of
    Tom Sherman I for one would like to know.

    Tom Sherman for as long as I have been on ARBR (over 3 years) was the
    mainstay of the group. He was the presiding recumbent expert and also the
    off-topic intellectual. He posted daily dozens of messages on every
    conceivable topic. He is sorely being missed here as is obvious to anyone
    with a brain in his head.

    Ed Dolan the Great would never think of leaving a newsgroup that he has been
    on for many years with taking a proper leave-taking. In fact, I have already
    departed this newsgrorup (ARBR) many times with much swearing and cussing
    and slamming of doors. My many final farewells are events to be remembered.
    Surely, that is the only way to leave a newsgroup. Parting is such sweet
    sorrow after all.

    Well, if you know anything about Tom Sherman, post here or else email me the
    information. He was the only worthy adversary I ever had on any newsgroup.
    Now I am left to fight with midgets like Jim, Chris, Curtiss et al. As I am
    a giant, I require giants to do combat with, not twiddledums and
    twiddledees.

    Friends aren't worth a damn but we should cherish our enemies. They will
    always be there for us with their venom if nothing else.

  3. Ed,

    You have said, and I quote ... Usenet is strictly for idiots, [censored]
    and jerks - positively no exceptions! Perhaps Tom Sherman refuses to
    be constrained by your shortsighted, errant classification. Maybe he
    would return if you would just leave. What incentive does Tom have to
    return knowing that he will again be labeled abused by you??? After
    all you have said, and I quote ... I can state with absolute assurance
    that I am the Greatest Idiot, the Greatest [censored] and the Greatest
    Jerk that Usenet has ever known. With this your third lament over loss
    of Tom Sherman, you have betrayed your unremitting fear ... that of an
    apathetic and dwindling audience. Countless times you have even
    condemned those that have kill-filed you. In effect, you have
    empowered the readership to be your worst nightmare. This is a telling
    indication that you are haunted by an unrelenting awareness that you
    are only a mouse-click away from oblivion.

    Saw it and responded ... What we have here is yet another example of

    it best. Subsititue "Ed Dolan" for "Jimbo" in your final sentence and
