It's really sad to read this.
I'd like to know if he told you his true identinty and you agreed to keep it secret.

And how do you know this? A fair question, but obviously the comm. has had communication and confirmation off the open forum. He will be missed.

I personally have no way of knowing if Apollo was really Neil, but I can contribute this information for your consideration: For the past few months I have had a fairly steady off-board dialogue with Apollo that stopped abruptly and with no explanation a couple weeks before Neil died.

Can anyone reflect on some of ACV's more notable posts? I haven't been following along going back a few years, so I'm not familiar with all of ACV's postings. Did he get in touch with IAAP?

Mindblowing. In light of this, if true, I suggest we all go back and re-read over all of Apollo's posts.

Much like Jarv, I have had extensive off board dialogue with ACV for the last four years. These communications halted the beginning of March this year.
Skyward, to my knowledge he had no dealings whatsoever with IAAP.

I'm remaining skeptical of this.

While having only limited communication with ACV, as with jarv and RL, this also stopped at the same time frame as previously mentioned.

Thanks, KofC. I was wondering if ACV's history goes even further back to other forums. With all due skepticism that this is even accurate, of course. His last post at TKIN (are we allowed to post links there?) Link to Tkin ACV's post"Once upon a long ago, lived four young lads I'm sure you know. The other three, you know them two. You'll know me better when this is through. Before the band was on the run, a natures child followed the sun. And soon the four became a three, a list of clues for those to see. A story told in fine detail, to keep the loonies on the trail. A coin, a sheep, a favored son, were welcomed guest when the day was done. Now, those days are gone, the stories told, in rivers of ash, and urns of gold. A final hint to all of those, who refuse to see the Emporer's clothes."Apollo C. Vermouth

He "started out" at TKIN, so there are posts from him there. Interesting then, that BeatlePaul felt that the most recent version of Neil was actually Paul McCartney in disguise! It's a shame he (Apollo) didn't live to see the day we all solved the puzzle. Then again, we should all be so lucky as to see that day..... Sooner than later, I would hope.

I'm remaining skeptical of this. Likewise. Can you honestly see Neil writing cryptic, namby-pamby type posts, in the style of an over-educated, arty-farty, ex- female impersonator?, Neil was a quiet, no-nonsense, stoical sort of bloke, who had little time for humoring the public, & had probably had a gutfull of trying to appease everyone. There's only 1 person who fits the Bill here..

Who is "NIR Committee" anyway?
Most of it's posts have been on the "The Story" thread, and "The Story" thread methinks is riddled with misinformation and faulty logic.
So I'm still skeptical about all this.

dear Jude,
believe me: no hostility here.
I just wanted to put in evidence that may be your behavior is a little contradictory. You're skeptical about everything but the RA, in which you don't see any riddles and misinformation and faulty logic.
that's all
peace and love

You're skeptical about everything but the RA, in which you don't see any riddles and misinformation and faulty logic. that's all peace and love As a matter of fact, I do see misinformation in the RA series: in the early installments there were a number of clues that were easily debunked. I wish people would stop acting as if I clung onto Iamaphoney's every word as if I thought he was incapable of making mistakes. Just so you know....I wasn't saying that "The Story" was filled with riddles. I was using the word riddled, as in riddled with holes.
