It's clearly a lost soul with no understanding of Paul or his work.
My guess it's Michael Mann.

I vote for that!

That's not Jack. The real Repairman Jack would never join myspace and let all those people be "friends".

Webby, you are...so...right!

Snake? I don't think so, this guy wasn't rude enough.

Ken, you gotta admit he had Snake's arrogant, ignorant attitude. But maybe you're right--there weren't any misspelled words.

Okay, I'm confused here. Didn't fpw write this blog? That's how I read it. I thought the reference to the book store employee was a reference to Bluesman. I think I'll go join Patrick McGoohan on the Island.

Good God, Saynomore! The hardworkin' Bluesman is =always= courteous and helpful to the valued customers. (He also lies to put Satan in a distant second-place.)

Friends,
My first post, so hello to all. I befriended "Jack" on MySpace, as I saw on another thread that FPW wants to get the contest information out. What better way to generate interest in his "alter ego" than to have him actually BLOGGING on MySpace, the site someone recommended as the way to get info on the contest out the fastest. If we play as though that were Jack, rather than commending FPW on "Jack's" website - we do one of two things - expose the Jack on MySpace as a charlatan, or support FPW's effort. Either way, looks like fun to me!

Let me be first to welcome you to the board, Hadiddiya! But if Am takin' yer meanin' rightly, yer sayin, then, "As long as they spell the name right." Is that what yer sayin', then?

Thank you for the welcome, sir. I've enjoyed reading your posts (and everyone's) as I've been trying to get through all posts on the board, much the same way I went through all of FPW's RJ series in about a week and a half. :eek: I grabbed Crisscross in an airport, finished it pretty much before I got on the plane, ordered the rest of them (why, oh WHY won't Harbingers ship, darnit!) and chewed through 'em like I'd not eaten in months. So, I joined the board, and have been chewing my way through that as well. That said...

The sense I got from FPW's original post here was that he was the author of the RJ MySpace. Especially since of the three I found that referenced RJ, the one FPW linked to was the most articulate. The syntax and phrasing were similar, and as "RJ" posts more blogs, that will be easier to spot. It's tough to fake an author's syntax, especially such that it would fool people like yourselves, who are so familiar with Jack. So, I figured, since FPW'd asked for help in getting the contest info out there, that I'd befriend him, put both links in my interests, and see what happened. If it IS FPW, then what fun it could be talking directly to Jack. If it isn't, then what fun teasing out inconsistencies and exposing him. Play his game and either catch him out or further FPW's efforts. And if anyone could do the teasing out, it would be you folk on this forum. Just a thought.

Welcome Hadiddiya!

So, is this like another game? I'm ready for a fresh game. :p

Welcome to the board Hadiddiya, Harbingers is worth the wait!

Thank you for the welcomes! I don't know....I've started another series now by another author, and still find myself in the middle of the most horrific scenes going "WHEN is Amazon going to GET it here???" <grin> FPW, Ya got me for life. I've also ordered every other one of his books I could find...now I have to pony up, I think and order the limited edition set, since I agree with another poster on another thread (my apologies for not remembering her name or the thread, I'm cruising through them pretty quickly) that I want to buy new, so that the proceeds go where they belong - to the author! It isn't often an author will grab me the way he's done. Actually, I should have a box waiting for me when I get home! While it's not Harbingers (dangit Amazon, git a move on!), I know I'll be chewing through another of his books tonight. Can't Wait!

As for the RJ MySpace - dig the avatar, too. Nice rip from FPW's site, if it isn't him, wouldn't you say?
