There was a FReeper named "Jaysun" back in 2007 and early in 2008, who announced in February of this year that he had contracted some kind of cancer, and that the prognosis was NOT good. He received an outpouring of sympathy in that thread, from me also, who had "talked" to him in personal "FR mail" over some subject of other. His FR profile showed him posed with his new infant daughter. So it was ever so much more touching and hard to bear to hear and read him talking about not being long for this world. He made a big point of realistically assessing his chances for being around much longer, and I had to personally e mail him with words as positive as I could manage. I was thinking about him recently and went back to Feb. to find the private FR mail to me. I clicked on his name and it came up "The account has been banned or suspended". Does ANYONE know what happened to "Jaysun"?
Enough of these nonentities.
Where is mrspike?
What is the name of it?
Hi Cal, it’s been a long time. What brings you back to FR?
I think it’s The Wideawakes.
Bring Back A+Bert and Laz.
You can never get a good RAT-FINK QUISLING nowadays.
"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"
In answer to your double query, but 11 seconds apart....
I don’t know
I don’t know
(the whereabouts of Quidam)
I do remember the name but don’t think you got it exactly right.....wasn’t in Quindam or Quiddam? Or something?
quidnunc?
The above is still there...there is nothing for QUIDDAM
I do do remember someone else named Quidunc or something close
quidnunc is correct.

Holy Mackerel - you’re still alive!!!
Gotta go call the prayer chain and take you off the list!
So you’ve been hanging out with Mark Twain. Good for you. Good company.
The screen name was quidam.
Supposedly it was Matt Drudge who was quidam although there was speculation that it was William Safire. IIRC Mudboy Slim knew something about his identity.
I suspect it might have been Drudge. Whoever Quidam was, he well informed. He would post vague statements/riddles that hinted at some explosive rumor - well before it became public. He was probably looking for confirmation of some tip.
Or TridentDelta another big talker....
It’s funny seeing some of those old FR screen names.
Old Atlanta was excellent. He was posting a lot when I first found FR. Him and another poster with a name like Phuong Phuang, or something like that, are the first posters I remember as being very active.

TridentDelta was pretty sharp, IIRC.
