THAT WANKER WARDOG,
Used to be fun seeing him get all hot and wound up over anything,
So who or what was the straw that broke the camel or hippos back

My advice is to let sleeping dogs lie. I'd much rather navigate
around posts selling cheap sneakers, than have to filter through
thousands of words about why the gear he sells is so much better than
anything we ride. If you need a dose of Wardog just head over to the
HotSails Maui forum where he recently gave Jeff Henderson a dressing
down for Jeff giving an opinion on the surfiness of a particular SUP,
that Warren didn't agree with.

I'd heard a rumor that he moved to Melbourne, Australia...

Hes posts were fun to read until WARDOG started a vendetta and now it seems
they have both ridden off into the sunset

...or SUPed into the sunset as the case may be. The NG has definitely
thinned out in the past several years. Many voices are still out there but
in other forums. Mike was active on the iWindsurf boards but recently posted
a suicide note http://forums.iwindsurf.com/viewtopic.php?t=14895 Warren is
active on the manufacturer forums - Starboard, Hot Sails, Exocet.

They both provided a lot of excellent windsurfing advice over the years and
this is still accessible through google search.

Rec dot in its day was THE go-to place to get real time advice about the
sport. Times have changed. Energy has diffused. But there are still some
great voices here.

He still posts on iWindsurf often. Tends to get political and create huge
threads of poeple yelling at each other about Bush, Obama, Osama, Iraq,
Iran, etc... Also, his windsurfing related posts are just as opinionated as
his political posts. It's either myway or the hiway with him. You know,
gybe the way he does or you're a fool. If you put your back foot first in
the strap your an idiot. Anyone who sails the gorge in a straight line
ought to be shot. Endless rants about his 8 hour sessions. Gets kind of
tiring.

I talk to Wardog often - I buy stuff from him. He's actually a very helpful
person. Spends hours on the phone helping me choose products, etc... If
you're on the west coast, I highly recommend him. I've only seen his posts
on the Hot Sails Maui site recently. Another political hack, but I'm on the
same side of the fence with him when it comes to that. I think people got
upset with him mostly about his use of the forums to advertise.

What I want to know is whatever happened to Luigi??? (In case you don't
know who I'm talking about, go to http://www.semenzato.com/gone.html and
read his brilliant postings on rec.windsurfing from the early 90's.
Timeless.)

Does this mean that it is time to organize another T-shirt?

I still have *both* rec.w T-shirts. I wonder how many of those e-mail
addresses on the first one are still valid...

Or maybe that he was using sock puppets to post as satisfied customers.
How soon they forget....

Well now ,I for one always suspected this.
How was he found out?
Would seem pretty well impossible to prove.
