You know what's weird about this thread? This is the thread in which Hugh Manatee Wins apparently ended his entire career of posting on the internet. Hugh was a compulsive poster with an electro- paper trail all over the web leading up to the moment when his account was suspended a few pages back. Then - complete radio silence. Nothing. I would not have thought that would be possible. I've searched for his unique keyword combinations many times since, but to no avail.
Best wishes to you, Hugh, whoever you were and wherever you are.

Not to my knowledge. I haven't gone looking for him recently though.

He has to be out there somewhere. Has to.
Love him or hate him or both it's a mystery what happened to Hugh. He was nothing if not monomaniacally driven. How can it be that he simply disappeared and has never resurfaced anywhere? I don't even think he was or would be capable of writing in any other way than he did. He ought to be findable with key phrase searches.

No, believe me, I've looked there.
I found no evidence that he had joined Lupercal's forum either.

He could just do a history of MOCKINGBIRD and I'd buy 10 copies. The man was thorough and putting his work out into an even bigger shark tank of criticism would only make the Thesis stronger.
Maybe he's holed up somewhere writing his magnum opus. Maybe he had a nervous breakdown and is convalescing. Maybe an alpha agency offered him a job. Maybe he found love. Maybe he was abducted by aliens.
Can we find him? If several dedicated members with decent skills cannot locate him what does that mean? I assume many members have already tried to some extent to find him. Has anyone had any luck?
