Wait.... what?? I missed this post earlier! I always suspected dissention had multiple user names on here, though! He was something else! I really liked that Stevie-Hold-Me-flinging-hair avatar he had. So appropriate.

Speaking of multiple user names, I remember when one guy, Carne Vaca, had two user names and accidentally posted as himself under the fake one, outing himself and getting banned as a result. Oops!

We should all consider ourselves lucky that whomever the mystery person is, we are not being individually judged for our past transgressions.

Interesting! Being a bit out of the loop, I assumed the new owner was simply running The Ledge as a for-profit enterprise (hence the ads) and did not frequent the board.

And as I have stated before, a new album or new tour always brings people back to TL.

That certainly is the case for me.

Dulcimer. He liked to converse with himself too. Weird.

Dulcimer! Oh my. I swear FM fans are the most interesting and creative people. I laughed so hard I started coughing at the memory of that particular absurdity. I might have to go back into the archives and reread those posts just for old times sake.

I think there was actually a third name he posted under, too.... That was during all of the "Survivor" games on the board.

Hejira was always peppy, too.

Wasn't it HejiraNYC?

I feel like I'm having Ledge flashbacks from 15 years ago!

Have you found them yet? I'd be interested in reading them too. I'd say from absurd to ridiculous. Then again, some of those archives were lost because of a server switch or something. But those were crazy times on The Ledge.

I did a search for Dulcimer and came up with a 15 page thread where everyone is fighting over the use of post it notes at the top of the Rumours forum. I haven't gone any further than that for fear of getting lost and not being able to find my way out.

You'd think the world was coming to an end with sticky notes at the top of the page. I'd bet my bottom dollar that if "Dulcimer and CarneVaca" were in that same thread, they'd be agreeing with each other.

OMG.. I forgot all about CarneVaca.

He was a hoot. If he's banned they should let him come back for the entertainment value alone.
