Waldo? He was an odd character, around at the very beginning, then tried to kill himself and wasn't around much after that
Acheron? Another very early writer and member
Jackwright? A fascinating character
Aussie? Somewhat abrasive but entertaining

Dark_father - the only US grinder I ever met in person. Nice young lad.

Waldo's fine. Exchanged words from him the other day. He's living in Chicago and is involved with a performance art community there.

That's great, I always liked Waldo. And performance art isn't a surprise at all (in a nice way).

I remember Waldo and Aussie. Do you have any other information on them?

Not sure if Aussie ever resurfaced anywhere, certainly I didn't keep in touch with him.

Morbid thought - how many grinders are now dead?

mysteri passed away a few years ago. i know she was here but i don't remember how active she was, but she and i were friends. we met in worlds (dot com) and then we went to cybertown, and then second life there for a while after that. she kept up with me via my blog, and when i wasn't blogging, we emailed back and forth until almost the end.

she had an agressive brain cancer. i think her wee boy might have been 10 or 12 when she passed. he's in good hands with her parents.

she was a good friend who i never met IRL. we were pals for about 15 years. i invited her to FL many times but it never worked out.

RIP Leslie Farrell.
she had denied all allegations of her loneliness, that battle had been won with scars still under wraps. she may have dropped the world, but she would not let us down.

That's very sad. Thanks for the update, though.

Ah VG! Whatever happened to that old rogue.

Good to see you again my friend, welcome back.

Always wondered what happened to him. We had a weird/interesting meeting very briefly. He disappeared from his folks house when he came to visit me. I seem to remember they were not amused. Please give him my regards.

I still follow a few people on Instagram who were grinders, it's pretty cool/weird to watch them grow up and have real lives and so on.

Interesting how the internet turned us from handles and avatars into a much richer (but no more real/less curated) version of our online selves.
