Glad to see the site back up. Though I don't always agree with him and feel he doesn't see the forest for humping his pet trees his site is such a valued resource for the hobby and such a source of information. To say of being not dry in the least. He does appear to have quite the sense of humor and he makes for easy and fun reading.
I think Mark's online presence (like so many of us) does not match his in person presence. So much is lost in translation when we type our interactions.
Yeah... one of life great mysteries to me. Probably ranking only below why Long Time Gone wasn't including on CS&N's grt's album.. is why people feel to the need to be a different person online. And usually for the worst. The way many behave online.. pull that shit in persona and you'll likely get your nose broken.
I've met a lot of people over the years in person after engaging for years on the Internet and it still blows me away man to hear them say.. not that I am so different from my Internet personna but so much like it. Whatever man...
