  • Passing of an old poster

    From Bubbamike@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 19 11:48:53 2017
    I'm sad to announce the passing of Zack Willohite who was a long time poster here in the halcyon days of usenet. Zack posted under the name of Bus Dude. He was a long time transit fan and owner of a retired transit coach. Zack and Jim Hambre were killed
    in the derailment of Amtrak Cascades Train 501 yesterday.

    RIP Zack and Jim

    Sorry to hear that. Incidentally what has happened to this group? I
    used to have great fun tussling with anti-transit trolls.

    Usenet is dead. Killed by spammers and trolls.

    I'm still in a fairly active group based on the tripartite tv series Law
    and Order.
