Blessing Nowhere To Be Found; Search Stalled

An intensive search for the missing Owner/Moderator of XJ-Series Group, Barry Blessing is stalled after following all leads and clues to his whereabouts turned-up nothing.

 

Dozens of emails, sent to individuals named Blessing, remain unanswered.  Clues gathered from the limited amount of Blessing's early posts to the site, came up short of finding the Moderator.  Limited information, other than his seemingly very poor knowledge of motorcycles ... "What's an igniter and where do I look to find it" ... and, an abrupt end to his posting remarks or questions, leads investigators to surmise that Blessing abandoned the site back in 2002.

 

There seems to be little hope for finding the man who created the immensely popular Yamaha motorcycle group site without the cooperation of Yahoo, which appears to be very unlikely.

 

Troubling investigators, is the fact that email messages to the various Barry Blessing email addresses, seem to have been delivered, because none of the emails sent to Blessing's accounts have been returned with the various "Undeliverable" messages, long after they were sent.

I found a guy on ebay who was willing to convert the stock Seca Turbo stripes to something that looks like the old RZ350 striping.

 

This is what he came up with:

This will look sweet on a Yam Yellow bike...

 

Namely mine.

No, sorry. I'm in the middle of a critical IT security audit. The
past couple of weeks have been hell in preparation. i hope to get the
invite written later this week.

Fear not, it is very much on my mind.
