> [@Poysyn](#): > > I miss Mr Cynical, even though it’s been years. Also Montfort. Heh. **Mr C** decided to put me in my place in a pit thread I started once, with some amusing results. Didn’t he go by **Manservant Hecubus** or something of that ilk for awhile and then switched it back? My problem is, I don’t realize someone’s gone until they’ve been gone a long long time. Then it’s difficult to find any posts explaining where they hied themselves off to, if they left one. ---

> [@Maastricht](#): > > No, she is a lesbian photographer and pornographer. She even did an “Ask the pornographer” thread. Based on the wiki article and some additional research, it seems that we have been conned. It appears that _Abby Winters_ is a long established internet persona (from 1996 on usenet), probably Garion Hall, the CEO of the G Media, the owner of [AbbyWinter.com](http://AbbyWinter.com). Abby last posted in June this year, so “she” has not entirely disappeared from the SDMB.
