I can't believe you got such a venomous e-mail. It's not like you posted a pic of the kid or anything like that.

That youtube account you found is downright frightening. But there's no way the Kid can be real.

.. but.. but... aww dang it all. Now I'll NEVER know who really was better: Thompson Twins or Tears for Fears... [:(]

Jokes aside, given that he possibly wasn't a troll (even though he stank of troll, at least initially), you gotta at least give the kid kudos for taking an interest in 80's music; no matter how misguided and inconsistent it was.

If he WAS a troll.. then he went to elaborate lengths to maintain the persona.

I don't want him to go, just stop with the kind of topics like: "Whose better, Tears For Fears or Thompson Twins?" "Here is my cassette collection" (I have most of those on cd for more that 15 years, and probably all of the songs in high quality mp3) etc...

Most of us actually lived through that time period in real time 20+ years ago. So if you have some questions about the time period, some particular band, or song, offer some insight, etc., great, we welcome that sort of dialogue.

it's obviously the reason most of us are here is our love of the genre of music, but topics like that are ripe for a whipping. So if he actually is a kid (20 years old or so) I welcome people that are interested in the genre, just have a bit of common sense as to why you are here.

If you had never contributed another thing to this board, you'd still be a legend here. That's how awesome it was. I've even used it multiple times in real life.

<br>I'm guessing it went something like this:

Dear Zill,

As a major failure as a father, I thought I would send my son, Fortisque J. MacGillicuddy, out into the world of cyberspace in an attempt to help him grow a pair of nads. A message board full of jaded misanthropes seemed the perfect place for this.

Unfortunately, all he received were hateful and vicious retorts from the likes of you. Oh how his soul was tortured when the brilliance of his posts were not recognized as the incredible contributions they truly were.

Now he just sits in his room, staring glassy eyed and knocking his helmeted head against the window in rhythm, while licking the slobber caked glass. I'd let him outside but my own mother didn't allow that until I was well past puberty, 27 years old as I recall.

How dare you refer to my boy as a troll! Sure, he has a slightly misshapen head, giant ears and an 8 year old girl's physique but that's no excuse. If I wasn't afraid of messing up my fingernails I'd come out and give you a good thrashing! When my wife hears about this, he's going to be really mad!

Sincerely,

Montgomery Snodgrass MacGillicuddy

The sad part is that the era of NWK (and when I say era I mean the last 10 days) was pretty fun. I think secretly we all enjoy getting outraged.

I actually believed he was real in the early days...duh...it was less fun when it became so obvious he was a troll.

At least his review of New Order's greatest hits will still linger on in the Review section for some time to come.

I miss you, Kid, you and your Ozzy and Pat Benatar collection.
