Painter,

You may be able to choose whether to be known as "Alan" or "Al". It appears The Watchman has deleted his posts from all threads, packed his bags, and left the board! And he didn't even leave us a note!

best regards,
closetcanadian

I think I'll err on the side of caution and be known as "Alan" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

So. The Watchman's gone???
You better beware, knowing the watchman's always there!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif

Cathy,
What is this all about? I didn't mention the newsgroup or receiving messages through my inbox. My only 'sin' was to point out to John that people should be allowed to choose where they chat!!!

Alan,
It was a reply to the other Al, The Watchman.

Wow. He could of at least said:

As I leave you in the sunset
Got one more nothin' I'd like to say.

As I've said before on this board:

"IT FEELS SO GOOD KNOW-ING THE WATCHMAN'S GONE!"

True. But there's always the fear that:

If I wait for the right moment
You can bet I'll climb aboard unseen

I'm not sure why " The Watchman's Gone" I haven't seen him at my board since he joined either, I dunno. As I said at my own board, it wasn't created to be in direct competition with this board.

This board has many features that I simply will not be able to replicate. Members here are welcome to drop by my board if they wish, there is no mandatory requirement to do so.

As I've said on this board before to another who was leaving:

"We'll keep the light on for you"

Love him or hate him TheWatchman added some spice to this stew. If you didn't like the flavor I'm sure you're happy to see him go. But a diversity of viewpoints is what makes a discussion a discussion. And his departure will diminish the depth of some of them. I will miss his point and counterpoint style and his refusal to drop something he really believed in.

Fare thee well Watchman,

Things are not always as they seem. Al (NOT Alan) is probably just out on the town washing the bullshit down for a pre-determined length of time unbeknownst to us. He's always been a prolific editor of his own posts. He merely went a bit further in editing this time than he has done in the past. It's as likely as not that he'll be back.
Rebecca
P.S. All of you and God are my witnesses that I made not even a single insinuation about the Watchman's intelligence in any edition of this post.

Rebecca,

Well we can hope, can't we? And I'll be glad to stand witness to your post if it ever come's up. Of course the real comeback we all want to see is Gordon's, right?

Is this true? Honestly? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Seems to be true. Hate him or love him, he seems to have packed up and left corfid.com. I'll let you know if I hear from him.

I am relatively new to the forum and I really enjoyed the Watchman and had a lot of respect for him when I read about his dogs and how he felt about them. I miss him, why did he leave? He was great for the warning on the goofy guy that was posting for a while. I'd like him to come back.

Yes it had appeared that "carertaker" Al had simply deleted all his postings and intended to just disappear. But one day last week while trying to find my very first posting to rebut the insinuation that he had made that I was only here to promote the Friday Chat Room and I stumbled on one of his postings that he obviously has so far missed. It is his "testforum" posting dated 24 sept 2002 in reply to the first posting by "restless" on the subject:-"pic test". In some trepidation and while looking warily over my shoulder I clicked the "send e-mail" icon whereupon I was rewarded with the information that the email address for TheWatchman is: iroczpost@yahoo.com. Think about it and it might tell you something although I had been led to believe that his more likely e-mail address would have been mysogenist@yahoo.com
Anyway and despite having been one of his victims I did not personally get too upset previously by his postings so yes I'm with BillW and "brink". The Watchman should most certainly resume his postings and thereby add some spice to our lives again!!
Finally a small reminder that there is a wealth of links to Lightfoot web sites in my "webring" at:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot
