John, Cathy, et al:

Thanks for the hard work in finding who I was ! And Cathy yes you found what I can safely say I remember definatively - my original prodigy name and subsequents. eegads that old prodigy su**** !

I have been busy looking up my old postings you guys turned up.... not vanity mind you but a Quixotic quest for "who I was" in the context of GL rooms, and what did I say.

John - I have not forgotten my last name Dunbar as I think you meant when you found a current posting in alt.music.lightfoot you cited... I just forget profoundly basic things including my name at times, much less currently. Good God man where did u find "sex offendors" under my name ! ROFLMAO ! SERIOUSLY though, there a LOT of Steve Dunbar's out there.

If you do a simple google of JUST "Steve Dunbar" you find an odd plethora of academics ( many are from one fellow who has "publish or perish" white paper citings all over...) and indeed there are some strange ones. Rest assured I am quite the "Ritchie Cunningham" of Steve Dunbar's LOL ! ( At least after my wife made an honest man of me at 23.. ).

Hey guys thanks again for you research; it;s oddly comforting to find old postings of mine I would never have remembered, and still don't when I see them now, but they are indeed comforting insites into old damaged sectors of my neural hard drive. WILL SOMEONE please press "defrag and reformat ? !!!! HEHEHE .

Cathy - great suggestion on the pocket minder. Funny thing though... I do carry one at ALL times for just the reason you mention. I also do carry in my kit a small Pearlcorder as well. I just can't remember to always use them, or refer to them, or remember where they are at times... ! (rimshot) LOL. I DO keep a pocket one always in my ...pocket.

It (recovery) , as u both know I now realize, after a brain injury or or carotid blocking etc. is a return to a *disciplined mind* that involves more work than I ever could have imagined, as the group I attend has echo'd.

Thanks for the kind suggestion Cathy ! And John I am still tracing down all the old postings u found. Oh - and I DO appreciate the compliment John on the -e-town post compliment, and the one on irreverance of sorts to preaching to the priest - metaphorically, and the rocking chair. They responded in a very dignified way though to my mild "kill 'em with kindness admonishments", though, didn't they ?

Thanks again u 2 ! - Steve
