Default Who was that guy?

YEARS ago there was a guy on this site...well maybe the old site. Back in the days of Grassman Mike.

He had a harsh sense of humor and wrote some stuff about being diagnosed with MS and how it feels to have MS.

Does anyone remember what his name is?

He wrote a really good summary of how to explain to someone what MS symptoms felt like and had a really good way of explaining it.

I don't think that is the Grassman I remember from Neurotalk.

It's not Grassman. Totally different person. Grassman is deceased now.

We're talking about Ian Parberry.

Ahhh I just re-read it, "back in the days of Grassman".

Ooops, thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking to myself that young man is a cutie and has an impressive resume but I don't think he was Grassman.

Did he use a monikor that I might remember or just his name which doesn't even ring a bell?

Sally, thanks! I found some of his old stuff.

Since Mike aka: Grassman was brought up, lets give him a shout out too.

Miss you Mike!

Not at BT but he did use a moniker of ?Harry Bergamon? and
used an Ostridge Avatar.
