Rnyner was an interesting poster with great knowledge of seagoing subjects.

However, would wind up the mods by copy/pasting the entire text of newspaper articles. He was repeatedly asked to stop as this was likely to cause copyright problems.
He also bullied new posters, for which I personally told him off. We'd lost a couple of promising new members by then.

I wondered if he was pushing that creepy old curmudgeon/misanthropist persona that seems bafflingly popular among certain men.
Or perhaps as he grew older his filter was breaking down.

There were also computer problems. He used a desktop machine, not a laptop, which was ageing and failing to update.
Finally, he'd moved to a supported living facility and was probably enjoying the company of merry widows and fellow former sea dogs.

So, he might actually be in the Big Fortean Library In The Sky?
 
Rynner's currently living in the Seychelles in a flat above a bar owned by a retired Playboy play mate. She's better at poker than he is so he's only often able to pay his rent but he can drink harder than she can so she often forgets he hasn't paid his rent. (see Ramon's picture above)

It was about slang for a penis and instead a door knob but he was correct.

Oh man I thought it was always 'knob' not 'nob'. It made for much amusement when a colleague unwittingly sent out a blanket email to about 100 people featuring a recipe which included the ingredient 'knob butter' instead of 'knob of butter'. What made it even better was that they were ultra uptight and took them themselves far too seriously, which just made it all the more funny. :chuckle:

Other people live much more interesting lives than me *deep sigh*
