  1. Benson: If it wasn’t for you and Miss Muffet, my meteoric rise to fame would never have happened. Thank you!

    Have we overshadowed DIBS and the What?! I think we have.

    No worries about wanting me dead. I hope we can continue that thread. I don’t think you and I had any issues under my old name. You are one testy Republican though. I hope I can continue to pick at that scab.

    I am not LITM, East River, Rehab or Crimson. I am not Lotharoftheclintonhillpeople, Putnamdenizen or Chaka for that matter either. (We seem to be sucking everyone into this, aren’t we!)

    I am feeling like a bit of a loser that one knows who I was.

    From what I can gather, eastlake was a transitional style between true Victorian and the Arts and Crafts style. I can’t seem to find too much on the style to tell you what would make it unique, though it seems to be closer to Victorian than A&C in my book. I showed a picture of my house to a former co-worker who is familiar with these things and she told me the moldings around my windows and pocket doors indicated eastlake. (The floral designs in the wood work – and in my fireplaces – were the clue for her.)

    Let the longest thread continue.

    You having fun, Mr. B? I know YOU know who I am since you can see teh e-mail address I use for both names.

    Sorry for the long post, sam.

  2. Miss Chiff;

    OK, I retract my standing request to you!! I’ll take you at your word that you are not the person I previously thought you were. My “drop dead” comment was really directed at that person, because I thought she was going to start up with me.

    I went through my previous posts to see who I interacted with in the past that is no longer around. I’ve come up with three persons:

    East River
    Rehab
    Crimson

    Well, how about it? Your identity, and my inquiry about it, has generated one of the longest threads in Brownstoner history!

    By the way, for us ignorant ones, what is the eastlake style?

  3. Not Denton. Not I haz.

    (God, I have to go back to work!)

    I would post from time to time. Wasn’t a fan of the what or miss muffet under the old name. Benson didn’t want me dead under the old name either.

  4. “None of you have guessed my old name. Yet. Yes, if you guess, I will tell.”

    Thanks Miss Chiff!

    Ok, Benson, the lists we have are toast! Back to the starting line!

    Two questions:

    Did you comment often, or just here and there?
