These quantities of posts are not abnormal for Parker. He had more posts on the other Parker Pages. He has on occasion, posted more than 50 posts in a month on more than one page.

Last April, Parker's posting started declining. Parker only made 20 posts over all of the Parker Pages that month, which was a new record low for him. Remember, many of Parker�s posts are only no text subject titles, and usually very short when they do contain text.
He made only 13 posts in May.
He made only 8 posts in June.
He made only 2 posts in July.
He has made 0 posts in August.

Is Parker okay? I don't know. I sincerely hope so. He is a good guy. Has anything been said about his absence on the restricted pages?

Did he quit? I know that when I did, Viktor ignored my demands to remove my handle from his home page. I had to publicly demand him to remove my handle.

Bettie has obviously been trying to keep her fingers in all of the dikes. She is by far now the most prolific poster on the Parker Pages.

What about trackjack? Is Parker still the "editor"? If not, what's going to happen? Is Sam Kumar going to miraculously re-almost-appear?

Parker has not made a single post in 6 weeks and as noted above, his posting has been scarce for months.

What is going on?

It's a fair question.

I am sure Parker thinks the world of you too. Annnnnd I am sure he is flattered that you are so concerned. You are, indeed, a warm and caring individual.

Iggy.

During a discussion of what can happen to your bankroll if the cash is spotted during an airport security examination (it is taken from you by the federal police), I had the temerity to mention, as part of the description of what one must do to get it back, that the laws described as civil forteiture were clearly contra-Constitutional. Parker deleted the post.

I reposted, thinking this was a mistake upon Parker's part, as people should know that they needn't roll over to kleptocracy (government by theft), that they can, with difficulty and expense, ultimately recover their property and that this posed the burden upon us as good citizens to restore the Fourth Amendment. Parker deleted that one too.

In an email to me, he stated that comments that were "political" in nature would always be deleted, as politics had nothing to do with real life.

In an email to him I tried to explain to him that poltitics were indeed an aspect of real life, and that timidity and apathy and ignorance in this regard has lead us to exactly the situation where our cash is stolen upon sight at our airports, and this is indisputably real.

In an email to me, he stated that the site existed for one and only one reason: the financial benefit of its ownership. And that he continue to delete any post I make which did not clearly and exclusively further that interest.

My response was to delete every post I had ever made to the site, some of which were arduous in their construction.

I met Parker in Las Vegas in 2001. I consider him a complete martinet.

I self deleted every single post I ever made on that site long ago and removed my profile.

Parker explained his lack of participation on the "Parker Pages" for the last several months was because it was summer, even though I attached evidence of his active posting for the same period last year.

Parker went on to say this comparing himself to me:
I do have a life (unlike some people, who apparently have nothing better to do than engage in idle speculation regarding this site)

My "idle speculation" was documented proof of lack of performance on an advertised discussion site that promotes paid subscriptions to services that also severely fail to meet reasonable performance. Note that Parker then speculated on my private life saying that I have "nothing better to do".

I would provide a link, but another part of their camp, Don Schlesinger campaigned hard against this site because I provided links against Wattenberger. One week later, Wattenberger developed a page on his QFIT site against me and put a link to it on the RGE site. Don never said a word, and the link still stands.

You will also see now, that Nacht, who has condemned this site and its owner is once again advertising his halloween party here.
