When I came on board here back in 2000, There was much talk of a beloved poster by the name of Wally who had passed away and who was very much loved and appreciated by all.

Shouldn’t he be remembered as well ?

We’ll never know for sure that **WallyM7** was a fake, although my personal opinion is that he was. When I started the In Memoriam thread I posted that it was going to be reserved for people who we knew for sure were gone.
