What's up, PA, I didn't miss Texas.) Turns out, some of the components of the box melted during the heatwave.

I think he...@ limey - I dealt with him for a while. I think he followed me over here from other sites, and I'm one of the people who contact the SPVM about him (back when they weren't, y'know, doing anything about it). You can see me trying to figure out what's going on with him here, if you're curious: <br />http://nagamakironin.blogspot.com/search/label/Dennis%20Markuze<br /><br />When he moved (most of) his activities to Twitter, I essentially lost sight of him. (Interestingly, that seems to coincide with Google finally getting an effective SPAM filter set up for Blogger - I'm betting he lost access to a lot of the sites he used to leave his long, rambling messages on.)Michael Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233321050691782148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-1994934310390232652011-08-18T04:04:23.268-05:002011-08-18T04:04:23.268-05:00Funny you should bring that up TAW.
