It seems like just yesterday....

And walked around with some choice cards in his pocket and would come here and ask questions about condition and value --- uh, that's the same thing that still goes on here this very day, ain't it? So. believe it or not, I do miss him too. He was a pain but very tolerable, if you caught the drift from he angle he was coming from.

I think if anyone goes back and looks I was fine with Chao most of the times. I forget what lead to his demise on the board....but I am sure it was wacky.

You were fine with him, as per your usual. I don't remember if you actually tossed him. He might have eventually dismissed himself. It was more like, he will just pester people to death. He asks a question, members give him a legit response, his next post on the topic is nothing like what anybody just said.

I am pretty sure it was some of our members (not me) giving him a hard time and him leaving. I don't remember banning him for any reason. Kind of a weird character though...

Yes, he WAS totally off the wall. Drove some members out of their mind -- you know, like a flock of crows that harrow a hawk out of the area. Chao split the scene.

I still remember the mild controversy that ensued in the discussion about
the possibility of change coming. I think it was JC who was most vociferous
about how difficult all the new, fancy technology was going to be. I think
he bowed out because of the change. I have to say I was a bit on edge about it myself since I'm one of the 2 Barry's who is proud to do email and that's about it. It sure has been quite a good ride for the last 5 or 10 years,
with a few flats and tune-ups but a very worthwhile trip and quite a great number of
fine tour guides.
all the best to everyone,
