His Sublimeness seems to have slipped off the radar. I know he's been in poor health, just wondered what's new. On a related note, absolutely no signs of Kai anywhere online.
Otto appears now and then like a spectral Being. I last saw him lurking not that long ago. In and out only to be glimpsed. I believe he not only maintains this site but is also raising a family and apparently has a Day job.
I talked to him a couple of weeks ago. All of the above apply, as well some significant health issues with others in his family. As you may have surmised, he has a great numbers of plates spinning in the air right now. Actual video of him right now. Eric Brenn "Plate Spinning" on The Ed Sullivan Show (youtube.com I am in a similar position, though with not as many serving pieces involved.
Thanks all for the positivity. Truly appreciated on my side. The general nickname for WW2 Forumites has traditionally been rogues, but I do like Otto's Goblins an awful lot. Multiple plates very much still spinning, but a few less of late. I've made multiple of trips over the past year from Texas to Canada in support of the family. Still much to do, but things are slowly improving. I very much appreciate the work of Slipdigit, LRusso, Biak, & Opana who were keeping things as tidy as possible in a heavy anti-spammer warfare environment.
Ooh, Otto's Goblins. Has a nice ring to it. Spammers stick in my craw. I'll continue banning them. It's almost like a game
I refuse to be anything but a roh-gew. Unless it's a Bocan, which is Gaelic for goblin. Could just about learn to live with that.
Rogue is probably the most accurate and descriptive term for a member the crew here. I appreciate your adherence to the historical term. I'll see if i can track down it's first use here...
