I've personally met a small crowd of national (and international) rocksoff members, and they were a blast. It was a brief meeting, and I hope it won't be the last one. That's in the real life..
Through a screen, glencar showed me a good deal of support, while I was having some ridiculous rough time (at the old rocksoff board). I was drunk (no kidding?), more than a decade ago; I was in no good spirit, moaning, and deciding to show my emotions in public, so I wrote some alcoholic masochistic stuff; he had the good will to respond with a polite message of comfort, telling me that I was not too bad. He was kind and that's what I think people ought to be, and not only in the virtual world of the internet. I wish the best to glencar.
I also liked, particularly, the posts from a fellow who called himself Bloozehound, I think (his avatar, a mexican skull, I suppose, inspired by the the ZZTop Mescalero album). I don't recall if Bloozehound was his real nickname, but I recall his hilarious responses and good taste in music (a J. J. Cale appreciator is always welcomed anywhere).
Of course, there were also MaxLugar; I briefly posted at his site. He had (and I hope he still has, if he's ok) a terrific sense of humor. Fiji was interesting, and Lambchop was intelligent. All of these people had one thing in common: they had a wonderful sense of humor.
fireontheplatter was a true original. Where did he go? And whatever happened to Sunny? Did he ever speak with Tony?
I enjoyed to read posts by Ten Thousand Motels, but I believe he got ill, years ago. If he's resting in peace, RIP.
