I kinda miss Mangrove Roger from the old board. Now THERE was an entertaining nut case!
We lost Loundry off of our board yesterday and I hate it. He was certainly a controversial poster, but he did have a way about experimentation and reviewing his experiments at home that makes him a favorite of mine.Perhaps we will see him again some day, maybe not. ?He didn't die, he just signed off of our board, btw..
I guess that kind of expression made him a lightening rod for some unnecessarily harsh rebuttals

I think it was his style that aggravated (many) people, not his message. Face it, some folks come here to relax and talk food and simply don't think every discussion needs to be a brawl where there MUST be a winner and there MUST be a loser.

Oops, wrong board. ;-)

Just damn. I really appreciated the way he got you to *think* about his subject matter and not just go with the common flow. I guess that kind of expression made him a lightening rod for some unnecessarily harsh rebuttals. Unfortunate.
Musician and artist Don Van Vliet, who performed a complex brand of experimental rock under the name Captain Beefheart, died Friday. He was 69.One of my early favorites..
