Hey, I was following your Model 1 on eBay, last week! It's too bad you had to sell it. One day, I will have one!

I'm not insulted because, quite honestly, I think half of those people were self-righteous douchebags- so their opinion means nothing to me. But just the notion that somehow they feel like they are better than the rest of us is what I find rather distasteful.

I agree... that's why I didn't join the board until '01, and why I've only racked up 600 posts over the past 9 years (most of which have occurred the last couple of years). There may be less knowledge on the Ledge these days; but I much prefer the friendlier, simpler folks of today verses the people of the past.

Yeah well I'm cooking up a "proper" custom made one with Ed Roman (not thru Turner)

I've just always wanted a Model 1, because of LB. My intense fandom as a youth, and all that......even though I've got the money for one, I just can't see myself parting with it, until my house is paid off.

I've heard of Ed Roman, but don't know much about him.

**mylittledemon** · #80 11-24-2009, 08:22 PM

Well I hope you get one one of these days. Didn't know you were a musician.

As for Model 1's... Unfortunately, Turner can't seem to get the customer satisfaction thing into his head. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy. REALLY a nice guy... but, he drops the ball when it comes to following through with what is asked repeatedly of him.

Oh well. What's done is done. Not the end of the world.

Hi Homer!

Nice to see you.

I never got into 7 Wonders that much. Hope you drop by again soon here.

Thank you, I probably will. FWIW, I was never into 7W either! Too many kiddies!

For those of you who have been here awhile, is posting activity here busier or less busy in the last few years?

There is a lot less going on in the Mac world the last couple of years than there was the first 5-10 years after the Dance. With every year since '97, the press coverage of the band and it's solo members has also slowly diminished... giving us a lot less to talk about. '97-'03 was a VERY exciting time to be a Mac/Stevie fan around here.

Completely unrelated (but brought up by HejiraNYC), there is a LOT less cliquish, mindless, self-congratulating banter than there used to be... something that took up a staggering amount of bandwidth. There used to be a "cool crowd" contingency here that spent all their time posting how wonderful and superior they were

. Thank GOD those people have moved on!

I miss Tiffany (EnchantedSLN) and Sara who ran sararhiannon.com, its crazy to think that site has been gone for quite a few years now. That was such a good site and a huge loss, the best document of demo lyrics and existing bootlegs in circulation. I still find myself wishing I could go back to that site to look something up here and there.

Also wondering what happened to my friend joy from Kansas City! She shared so much great music with me.

I've been lurking since 97 and have posted on and off ever since.

As I read your post I also remembered Tracy who ran the
Burnish website. That was another great fan site. The site has been gone for about 4 years
and Tracy seems to have vanished from the whole Mac fandom.

Ahh, another "oldie" i've not seen in ages!

I definitly feel the ledge has had many different eras. It ironically almost mirrors fleetwood mac as its almost unreconizable from it 2001 (1967 for FM) to now. Yet there are always a few Mick and Johns always there while many big posters (Sevie, Lindsey, Peter for the band or Amber, Dissention and others for the board) come and go.

Me, I've been here since 2001, always for one reason only, love of the band and disscussions of the band, up to the second updates on any news on the band. Everything else doesnt matter to me. Sure there've been some awseome people on the board and there are right now, but thats all very much secondary for me. I'm bnasically a perfect analogy of John McVie. Here in the background steadily posting occasionally making a meaningful comment. The newspaper reviewers almost never mention me like most of your lists of memerable ledgies past and present (except for you David thanks for the mention) but that doesnt bother me one bit as it wouldnt bother John.

And if i was forced to pick a best time at the ledge. 2003-2004 peaking with the original tusk survivor game!

With all due respect, don't flatter yourself. The Ledge had been around (and in great health) for five full years before you came around.
