Default Whatever happened to Telemon?

Steve, been over 2 years that I heard from him [Telemon]. RHF drove

Drifter...


Let me respectfully offer the following counterpoint to your Telemon's
"always good commentary" statement:

He would complain of, and chastise, people responding to off-topic
posts. Yet he was guilty of the same thing, with over *three hundred*
(by actual count)off-topic posts. When Telemon was called out on this,
his response was that it was OK for HIM, but not for anyone else (in
other words, he tap-danced around it).

Sorry, but to me, this was clearly hypocrisy of the first degree...and I
don't miss that.




Hypocrisy is part of the human condition. Less than laudable. But
hardly uncommon, or remarkable. The real question might be whether or
not Telamon offered relevant content to any of the discussions, here. Or
whether he was engaging. Or personable. Or, in some other intangible
way, brought more to the group than just characters on the screen.

Personally, I miss his presence here.
