what ever happened to Dave Watson - nostalgia for bosom lover

[Bobbie Sellers]

Hi readers and typers,

I ran across one of my archived reports of his of an anime convention
from June 2010. He used to post here all the time
but now you can see his great work "Being UpFront" at
<http://eyevocal.ottawa-anime.org/beingupfront/>

It was a lot livelier here in 2010.

Usenet in general hit its peak more than fifteen years ago, and it's
been all downhill from there. When I started reading this group, it
averaged a couple of hundred messages a day, and people like Ethan
Hammond (remember him?) were still posting regularly.

Of course I do remember Ethan, he was quite young and proudly
proclaimed that an android anime chara with a cats brain was his wife.
She was the All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl, Nuku-Nuku.

<http://www.angelfire.com/tx/apcr/index.html> looks like an
archival page from 2008.

He was in school and I encouraged Ethan to keep at it.

I hope nothing sad or unpleasant has happened to him.
Maybe he just graduated and put the pastimes of his youth
behind him. But for whatever reason the page is still accessible
and I thought Angelfire was long gone...
I looked at Facebook but the first Ethan Hammond was a hunter
and none of the rest look much they would have been All Purpose Cultural
Lovers of Cyborg Cat Girls.
I even looked for myself but though I got to the anime and manga
newsgroups in about 2002 I did not start posting for some time and my
early ignorant questions were totally ignored. And thanks for
that. Guess I have to fix the Amiga to get to my older posts, before
2011 when I had my last big crash of a Linux computer caused by a bad
Power Supply.

I miss the centralized discussions here. You could could keep an eye on
the whole season just by skimming the posts. And if a show you were not
watching started to get hundreds of posts a day it would give you an
idea of what you might want to start looking for.

I've been spending more time on Bookface and no real time on Usenet. I also really should get back to updating the website, as the one for the Japanese band Boredoms alone needs massive updating, let alone Being Upfront. My tastes remain the same; either high class, avant-garde or unabashed fan service trash. A friend of mine who I exchange Xmas gifts with had to include Bikini Warriors in last year's haul.

Watson/the cryogenically frozen Being Upfront.

Wonderful! Watson lives(if coldly). A message I posted a year
ago lasted until a definitive answer to the Question was posted.

I suppose Ethan Hammond is working hard in the gaming
industry and has no time to spare, SPARE! for Usenet.

Work hard Ethan, Nuku-Nuku needs lots of development!
