Indeed. I dredged up this poll from 2011 (though I don't remember the poll being conducted). He's close behind you, Prez. Oh no, that's a different Martin, Mr. Grossman is #59 here (unless he's both of these, like Rachel is in some lists). I think this #7 Martin is "martingayf...@yahoo.co.uk".

Kaddish for young Mr. Grossman next Friday. May his loved ones find comfort and strength in knowing he was remembered by friends.

[Will Dockery]

I'm sure I have dropped few notches over the years, but thanks to whoever voted for me.

Mr. Grossman, I hardly knew you, but I fondly (but dimly) remember your posts, which were winding down by my entry to Usenet.

R.I.P.

I believe that other Martin is Martin Gayford, from the UK. I spoke with him on the phone when I went to see Dylan at The Roundhouse in London back in '09 and unsuccessfully tried to get him out for the show. Couldn't track down Mr. Jinx either, though I thought I spied young Briscoe queuing up for the show.

Speaking of old friends, anybody know who, where or what came of number 28, frinjdweir?
