Hello from looooooong dead ghost of the David Fund

Posted by: DAVIDF on May 03, 15:34 in response to lobogotti's post HSX Members, Please Read for Updates...

Hey, folks. It's David. In the days before the days before, back when people were talking about the hot new thing, the dinosaur, I was a player here. Think Babe Ruth, only thinner, taller, and not at all a fan of Babe Ruth.

Okay, maybe not Babe Ruth. I was *at least* Mordecai "Three Fingers" Brown, though.

If you know me, hi! Why don't you ever call or write?

If you don't know me, well, who in the Blue Hell are you?

Anyway, I owe many of my dearest friends and the relationship with my wife to HSX.

So, if there's anything I can do to keep it running, let me know.

To the Cantor folks who may read this, back in 2001, I was the guy talking with you about how to set up accurate punting. We would have had a deal if not for the 9/11 tragedy.

I realize that was like eight generations of employees ago. However, if anybody from that era is still around, we were these people:

We won every bet we made with you save for Monsters, Inc. You simultaneously loved and hated us and really wanted to bring us into the fold at the time.

Also, you made my departed friend, texx, enough money to take both his girlfriends to Tahoe one (lost) weekend. So, thank you on his behalf! Also, it was smart of you to befriend him. He was known to taser his enemies.

But again, I digress.

To a larger point, I've gotten my name in the paper (remember newspapers?) a few hundred times. I've also gotten to write some books. None of that would have happened without HSX. I'm grateful and want to keep the lights on.

Please contact me if there's something tangible I can do. HSX is a phenomenal idea that happened too early in the curve. It's not too late to turn this game into something more universal, Cantor. Someone should try.

Hey, thanks for giving it your best shot. Worse case scenario, we all reunite somewhere... {nm} TerenceHill May 03, 15:16

I’ll keep going until they’re is no room to wiggle. Yeah, there are boards that exist we could migrate to or create a new one. lobogotti May 03, 15:35

Why not start crowdfunding right away? If we don't raise enough to buy HSX, we could build our own. {nm} bsbbtnh May 03, 16:50

I'd feel more comfortable starting that process when there was a Board (and specified volunteer roles) in place. lobogotti May 03, 17:20
