Capt. Neal hasn't been heard from for years. Why is everyone still talking
about him? He was thought provoking, controversial, entertaining, and
capable of bringing out the very best, and worst, of his readership. I
suppose the pressure of being "Capt. Neal" was not worth the effort to him.
Perhaps one day he will gird up his loins and re-enter the fray, but I doubt
it. He probably has neither the desire nor the strength to reprise the
character. Like Pogo, Capt. Neal ran out of material and nothing more
remains to be said.

Interesting story, a good read, and a lot of it being true, fiction though it may be. Neal is still around in his various sockpuppet roles, taking on several male and a couple of female names. He continues to lie, cheat, steal, stalk, and disrupt, all of which are in his nature, all of which he can't stop. He stopped being "thought provoking" 10 years ago.

You're right though. Nothing more remains or needs to be said!

Keep Honking your big rubber ball Dullbur.

I'm loading up my boat for a weekend of cruising with friends.

I'm sure you will be here when I get back next week.

Have a great time pretending your a sailor!

Wasn't even a bet.

TGIF

We were on Xan by 5, out by 7, didn't return to the house (and w..k)
until Monday morning. Counts as 5 days in my book.
