blast of insanity from Travis

[Jon Ford]

Mike-- I agree with you somewhat--Travis is truly a larger than life 
character. The afternoon he spent at my house in Palo alto ranks as the 
"most creepy"--and also most memorable-- my wife and I have spent there in 
the twelve years we've lived here. He is best in person-- his postings to 
the list never measured up to his real world persona. Gerry, on the other 
hand (when he wasn't pontificating about his political views, such as they 
were), was a lively participant on the list,a sincere, vivid descriptive and 
narrative writer, and I still miss his on-line presence. As for you, 
Mike--I'm kinda glad I have never had the misfortune to make your live 
acquaintance--your bizarre and hostile utterances on-line are quite enough 
for me!
