Default The MIA Poster Thread: Where's Shoestring?

Many of you will recall shoestring - and his unique style of posting. While he hasn't been around for a number of months - about 6. I know some people on the site know each other personally - does anyone know if Shoestring is ok?

Just curious. He's missed around here.

Yes. Didn't I mention him to you over MSN Jiri? Or perhaps it was to KG... wondering where he is also.

Yeah I've chatted with a few folks about it - just thought maybe I'd put out a "APB" for him.

Chalk me up as one who misses shoestring. He even featured in my sig for a while. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out if he was brilliant or crazy--and then eventually I settled on brilliant after he dropped a few Hunter S. Thompson references on me in the midst of one of his gnomic, haiku-like posts.

Hope he's okay. Maybe he just got a life, something I should do one of these days.

Shoestring,
where are you?
I hope you're okay.
Your posts are missed.

I think I also saw he is in the CP Pick'em Pool on Yahoo, so he is reading, but not debating (Get back to work, Cheese)

I met shoestring once last year about a month before he disappeared. I've been trying to contact him ever since, but he doesn't answer my emails. I owe him dinner.

Maybe that's why he disappeared. Lol, I kid Heather, I kid

Where is JiriHrdina? He hasn't responded to this thread for awhile...search team needs to be sent to Microsoft to find him.

He is, and a bit of a chain smoker, which leads me to be really concerned about him. Morbid maybe but I tried to go through the obits around the time he disappeared and didn't find anything. His last visit was December 6th? of last year...

Surely the ban would be lifted by now?

Mods, is there a public list that shows everyone who is currently banned?
