Ouch, never personally ran into eb4 myself.
But I did run across him as Asmodeus, and he struck me a nuttier than Loopy the Squirrel.
He would spend immense amounts of energy and time crafting a web page that would insult everyone he’d been arguing with.
Truly odd and bizarre behavior.
He had his web hosting at ‘hundred megs’.
He’d also quote people without permission.
I know about that; I was on a 286 with a 1200/2400 Modem -- froze me up for ten minutes at a time until I could kill the 'display images' on my browser. Plus he was very active in another site for the TWA800 investigation, I think run from one of the flight aficionados webs.
Not sure what the full outcome of this tragedy will be (I don't think we've gotten at the truth), but there are too many unanswered questions; the "white, high-explosive display" seen by the helo pilots before the fuel explosion, the shrapnel reports from some of the coroner's reports, the disparity between the radar sweep locations and the debris fields, among others.
Missile? Maybe, but I doubt the USN had anything to do with it. But I do wonder why all of the USN divers were put on security restrictions from ever discussing their actions, and the security services taking charge instead of the FAA and NTSB. Too many strange trip-points.
