I've never quite understood the Don Strevel phenomenon. Maybe someone
can explain it to me.
The man is a kook. Plain and simple. He's a kook and he therefore
writes kooky things. It's like his job. Mind you, I'm not really using
"kook" as a pejorative, because I consider myself a kook. Although I'm
not half the kook Don is.

But what's far kookier than Don's kookiness, is the kooky way people
react to his posts.

The guy is a kook. Kooks are not supposed to write things that are on
topic or accurate.
"On topic" and "accurate" are antonyms of "kook". To expect Don to
write anything normal, would be like expecting JRogow to start writing
like a kook.
The complaints I read are so asinine. "Don, you complain about off
topic posts and then you make off topic posts". What the hell else
would you expect from a kook? You people are idiots. Don is just doing
what he was placed in avlv to do. We all have our assigned roles.

Ace*, because of the kooky way Strebel writes and rants, it is fun to
poke back at him. He asks for it.

On another note, I had iced tea with Don in the coffee shop at Red
Rock Casino just after it opened. In person Don was very different
than he comes across here. He is well spoken, articulate and chooses
his words well...all without ranting. He didn't care to talk about
AVLV either. Nothing against Don, but I haven't met up with him since
as we are very different and he's just not the kind of person I hang
out with.

But man, when he goes on and on here, it's a lot of fun to hassle
him. LOL

I enjoyed our meeting. The tea was great and it was an even
greater pleasure to meet with Kurt. He is a good person and a fine
gentleman. We both do have original and distinctive personalty
traits. :) He is a good guy. I have had the pleasure of meeting with
a lot of others privately during their trips, all great folks. :)
