And when it comes to secrets, here are some tidbits I discovered along the way. A few of these secrets I managed to catch before any references were deleted from the various Forums I had seen them on, so no other evidence exists, but trust me, they are true!

Noah Hanson is actually a 56 year old grandfather. Now I know everyone makes fun of his age and everything, but while reading a post at theexperts.com I read a post where Jesse Gunn posted an IM chat. In it, Noah admits he’s 54 (this was from 2 years ago, so it now makes him 56) and has a grandson named Arem, from his grown son Shem, who is turning 15. Noah is considering giving up e-fedding for good in the convo. Funny thou, when I refreshed to cut& paste this, is was no longer there…Mmmmmm.

Sybil actually sent Benny H. of eWzine fame, more than the $10 he stated he sent. In a misdirected PM (I got a carbon copy by mistake… I guess he was trying to PM me at the time as well as this was around the time I quit eWzine) Benny thanks SyBil for the generous $100 gift. He also refers to the “last time you sent money” as well, which I take it means ole Sybilly Jim has given more than once to the save-EWZINE fund. He goes on about the trouble Sybil is causing but assures him that everyone will see his generous nature and come to accept him for the kind person we all know he is.

Black Death… who’s real name is Stanley Farstein is not black or even brown for that matter. I have been chatting via Yahoo with him for the past 6 months and have seen him on video cam. He’s kinda cute and all but hardly the same guy you’d expect when reading any of his posts or shoutbox messages. Sorry Stan, but your secrets’s out… hope you can forgive me but I felt you needed to come clean with everyone.

There is a guy, Raymond Ostir Solglisten, from new Mexico, who has been e-fedding since 1993 and claims to be the longest still playing e-fedder. He started back using Mosiac 1.0 as a web browser and started a fed based upon a dice game he was playing with his University friends. His federation predated the play-by-email crowd as they used the University of New Mexico’s computer network to run his Fed. He has told me he keeps a running score of his lifetime record and it blows everyone away. It’s an astounding 2,245 wins, 615 loses and 55 No contests. That racks up a total of 2,915 matches over the years in dozens of federations and about 47 different characters. The reason I’m telling you this? It’s because this person… is very active at E-fed Knights.com at the present time. He will never admit being Mr. Solglisten because he takes great pleasure in watching the e-fed world evolve around him and doesn’t want anyone to know how long he has been in the game. I understand, as I constantly think of all the stuff he has seen over the years, having been around since the very beginning. He has created an elaborate alter-identity that has fooled everyone with the depth of it. How I came to find this out is something I can’t tell you because it would reveal who is was in an instance. Now, thou I have sworn not to reveal his identity, since I am leaving e-fedding, I will depart with a single, glaring clue for everyone… “ Jay Weapon”

Have a good life people… and toodles

Toodles!
