11 years is pretty good, but ...

4 years ago, I discovered that a flame war I had witnessed in rec.music.makers.percussion in the early 2000's was still going on after one side DIED

In 2000, Rob Schuh was already infamous for the flames:

The Robert Schuh File; How to Not Win Friends and Influence People. Off Topic, extremely long, and not pretty. also occassionally posted at alt.tonya-harding

--those who have chosen to guard themselves against Rob Schuh have done so with just cause.

If you have been bothered, taunted, insulted, attacked, cursed at, lied to, lied about, by one Robert Schuh, welcome to the club!

I believe he passed away around ~2010; people were celebrating his death in ~2012, and he continued to be mentioned until 2021.

I mentioned in that thread that Schuh was a very interesting character:

A genius drummer, drum builder, bodybuilder, steroid user (when it was legal), convicted felon, a sufferer of chronic illness, and epic Usenet flamewar participant.
