Okay, YensidCamper here, same one as on the other place. I may be opening myself up for a real man of genius award, and some well deserved ribbing, but I am here to set the record straight and take my medicine like a man.
I want to say to TCD I am extremely honored to have gotten spiked! I had no idea, even after reading for several previous years, that you were the person that placed the spikes. We were totally caught off guard, my wife was a little spooked, the kids and I thought it was really cool. I was so clueless to the origins.
I stopped by your site as it was easy to see at the intersection but you were gone. I actually saw you getting off the boat after the 3 AM EMH but my family and I were too exhausted to catch up and speak but I intended to do so later. That is why we drove by your site. I am not sure if we drove by before or after you left the spike. If I had known it was you, I would have definitely continued to stop by your site to say thanks.
While at the Fort I lost the ability to post online easily so I didn't post any more while there. The hotspot on my phone stopped working for some reason. Upon returning home after Thanksgiving life happened and I disappeared from the boards for a while. Not just Fiends and the other board, but PUX, and ODYClub, my regular haunts. Just got back to reading and posting in the last couple of weeks.
Tonight, I finally got back to the mystery of the spike which finally led me to this thread. Thanks to a tip from someone who must read and post both places. A search for my username led me to this thread and I realized how I had screwed up.
So, after reading tonight I want to say I am sorry. I meant no disrespect. I didn't realize the honor that had been bestowed on me and my family. The D in the circle really looked like a P to me but I now see how dim I really was. The fact that the paper was from a realty company in Michigan threw me off too. I will be checking back more often and I hope to get to meet some Fiends at the Fort on our spring break next week.
T@BS and Fiends and Spooks, Oh My! Oct 25 - Nov 6
