OMG, I REMEMBER
the running dolt from philly who actually had some pretty good dogs but
took some really stupid risks with them to prove what a great dog trainer
he was. I suspect he had some good innate dog training skills in his
bizarre head - although, not good people skills, or web design skills
IIRC.

That would be Mike. He was on RPDB almost from the beginning, and prior to
that was a regular poster on the AOL groups; I'm talking back in the early
'90s.
Awhile back -a year or more ago - he posted about having gotten a job offer
(in CA, IIRC), and having a dilemma about what he would do with his dogs if
he accepted it. (IIRC, not in terms of whether to keep them, but in terms of
housing, exercise, time to spend with them in the new location.) I believe
he did take the job and move, and shortly thereafter, he disappeared from
the groups.
