Peter from Oz, Marc of weightvest fame, among others - you know who you are :) How many still around and active here instead now?? Looking forward to catching up with y'all... Genie/Noelle Of the people who used to post on wreck, most are out of the sport or dead. It used to be that when one of us died it was skydiving-related, but now it seems more likely that we are succumbing to cancer and such. The half-life in the sport is only a couple of years, and most participants are around no more than 7 years (I should track down the source of those stats). Anyhow, the de-evolution of rec.skydiving was so repellent that many people lost interest in an on-line skydiving community. For the rest of us, DZ.com has taken the place of recdot. All things being considered, I prefer getting banned now and then to putting up with the endless drivel on recdot. It would be nice to have a killfile, however. Blue skies, Winsor Hi Windsor! I do of course remember you well :) The drivel towards the end really was too much but i had a lot of laughs from rec.skydiving before it imploded like that...My independent soul does rebel somewhat at the concept of moderation, but the rec was a very cautionary tale as to when it can be necessary, when others choose not to regulate themselves. I did lose interest myself for quite a while in online skydiving communities, but i realised recently that i have been very lax in my reading and learning in recent years, and the things i *think* i know, may have all changed now.. so I might be becoming a little more active again now perhaps.. ;) Still great to hear from those I do remember. Winsor, you always stood out as articulate, well spoken, and able to reason an argument all the way to the end. Always enjoyed your posts and thoughts :) Genie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gweeks 1 #34 November 14, 2011 That was a fun night! Yeah we're still at Delmarva.

Peanut and Llucky were there, and I got to help them plan and execute their wedding in Rantoul at the WFFC one year. I think the marriage may have lasted just about that long too. Peanut went to the big sand box for a while to help speed up his retirement from the government. RevJim came and helped us set up in Rantoul a couple of different years, and I occasionally still talk to him. Rarely, but occasionally. One of my favorite long threads on the rec, was "Cat Passing".
