Big hello and shout out to Boston Exes!
This is Angus MacDuffie and I am proud to say that I made my escape and have been out for 15 years. Twenty-five years wasted but no mas!
As has been mentioned earlier in this thread, I moved out to the Portland, OR area around 82-83. Patty and I divorced in 96 and I left COS in 98.
She and the kids are still in. I would love to hear any news about them. As you all know, disconnection means never hearing from your family again.
Got my goldenrod (I was fast-tracked out, lol) and refunds of money on account which makes me SP 5 or 6 (but who's keeping track?).
I ran my own successful auto repair shop in Portland until 2000 when I went back to school and obtained a CompE degree. It's the sort of thing
you can do, people, if you're allowed to manage your own money and time!
Currently, I'm contracting out of the US (Can you find me OSA? - please visit me if you do, lol).
I've decided it's time to stop lurking and I'll be working through my scilon-instilled behaviors once again. Funny that sanity can only be achieved
when you've purged ALL of your Scilontology. I'll be sure to pass on any "anti-tech" that I find successful but I'm guessing I'll be rolling along the
same road you all followed to pick back up your mental pieces. Totally open to suggestions along this line BTW and feel free to ask me any questions
about the not-so-good old days when everybody was young and pretty.
ML,
Angus
