I am considering writing a book about memorable kooks on the internet. I have several to start with. 1. Ponchy These are pretty good, but there are not enough to make a book. I am hoping that some of you can suggest some memorable kooks who should be included in the book. If you have a suggestion, please enter their name and where they post on the thread below. I will go study them and see if they belong in the book. Thank you.

Well, there is ToddBrendanFahey who is somewhat of an internet legend, christine and Zip are quite familiar with him, he is somewhat of a character. Then there is BYeltsin who enjoys pretending to play the role of a word-salad type schizophrenic, though he is quite capable of being coherent when he wants to be. He's like Dakmar taken to excess. Also there is Aaron from LP, he regularly calls for the posters at this forum to be sent to Gitmo, and from what I hear he regularly ties up the phone lines at Homeland Security in his attemps to turn us all in for saying things he does not like. He likes to claim that there is no more free speech, and enjoys attempting to turn in those he believes are making violations of his no free speech law. If this country ever gets to the point of martial law, many of us will get to experience real life encounters with Aaron from LP types, they are seen in all forms of dictatorships. They believe that by turning in others they will remain safe, they display the most remarkable form of cowardice. Tragically (or not), such types almost always end up being imprisoned in the end along with those they have turned in. Of course they never understand why such a thing could have happened to them.
What about those guys who waste valuable bandwidth posting stupid stuff like pix of their favorite guitar? Speaking of which, have you ever seen mine?
Sweet. This is what I play... That's a ten string extended scale graphite Chapman Stick with the PASV-4 Villex pickup, and is identical to the one I play. That's a pic of Emmet Chapman playing his.
That sounds very nice, it must be difficult to play with all those strings.

I'm just spitballing here but, I doubt anyone will play many more strings than they have fingers! :) (It's possible to lay across more than one string with a finger, though, but you get the point.) And, since more strings means less movement to find an interval it would be easier to play than a piano where short fingers and/or arms can limit abilities. Example. On a piano there is no shortcut in the distance to play an octave above a given note. On a multi-stringed instrument I will find that note perhaps two strings and two frets above the root which is much closer than on a piano. It's possible to finger/fret an octave (two notes) together with one hand on my guitar, but impossible for most to play them with one hand on piano. On a guitar my octave is a 2 inch stretch, on my electronic keyboard (which has a slightly smaller scale than a grand piano) it's about 6.5 inches. I'm betting that The Chapman Stick would be easier for me than piano because I'm used to fretted instruments and hands doing different things simultaneously to produce the end result which hopefully resembles music.
