I'm going to give my last word on this.
I noticed that Joy Hecht had devoted a page to the Road Haus episode.
I interjected the part about FAN CLUB and GROUPIE to throw a little humor
into the otherwise boring content hoping that folks might have their
curiosity tweaked and go visit the page.
It has nothing to do with Flames, Poor Taste, Bashing or "community's
reaction to a specific stimulus".

You know,

This flamefest actually prompted me to sign off for a while, so someone
else may have made this point.  If not, here goes:  At Everybus, Larry
told me that one of the reasons of his adventure is to study the
anthropological concepts of a modern "community" from our wide and
diverse group of people with only one thing in common.  As you may
recall, his profession was training and consultancy in team building,
group dynamics, etc.  Therefore, this whole incident is going to make a
whole chapter in his new book if he chooses to write one.  This has been
a great study of a community's reaction to a specific stimulus, and oh
what a reaction it was.

After following the plight of RoadDog I'm pleased to report that Larry
has his first Groupie.
