I wonder if Ash just is around. I see several posters with Ash in the name and wonder. Toiletman was the one that got my ire. The day Jim and many Freepers were in D.C. this Toiletman just about took over the website with hundreds of obscene posts.

Toiletman... I think that may have been a bit before my time.

But what I do remember is how you had to be vigilant about your html tags. If you left your tags open at the end of the post, the entire thread font from there on would be in italics, or white, or size 8, or whatever, until someone would correct it ("bold OFF!"). And of course there were those enterprising individuals who found ways to really screw up a thread with that technique.

There was one more guy--he said he was a lawyer. I can't think of the name he used, but he was a real mess! He used to drive us all wild!

He agreed to meet us in the Sportsbar of the hotel where most of us stayed during all 4 rallys we held in DC. It was the last rally that he agreed to come to the bar and meet some of us.

Anyway--this guy was a real piece of work. I think JimRob was banning him all the time, but then he'd let him back after a while. I don't think he was one to change his name much--but I could be wrong about that.

If I close my eyes, I can see him--he had on a dark avocado sportscoat, nice tie, dark pants--kind of a non-descript face and body--just a very smug, arrogant demeanor. He wore gold rimmed glasses--was a bit short and had a bit of a pot belly, as I remember .

As I recall, JimRob spoke with him--but maybe I'm wrong about that. I do remember that several freeper guys went up to the bar and talked to him.

I'm almost sure this wasn't Ash--but I'm drawing a blank right now on who it was...maybe some of you guys can help....
