dalai 13-Feb-2005 7:23:07 PM	on the rope about to clip the chains perhaps Hex?
HEX 14-Feb-2005 1:31:03 PM	I hope you're right,dalai --- even if he does look like the lead-singer from Indecent Obsession ...
dalai 14-Feb-2005 1:45:55 PM	Who is Indecent Obsession?? Also where is this climb located?
James 14-Feb-2005 11:02:22 PM	>Also where is this climb located? the same place as all hex's 'climbs' come from.... out-dated rock mags. Although if my memory serves me correctly, this one is somewhere between Armidale & the coast (or maybe Hunter Valley)... 2000-ish vintage? Nofuturehexie.
HEX 15-Feb-2005 1:10:13 PM	'...the Mushroom Records marketing department, who in more than one press release described Indecent Obsession as having the potential to be as big as The Beatles. “It sounded realistic to us ... I mean, even Molly himself was saying it. It’s just not like Molly to get these things wrong ! After all, he was so on the money about Kids in the Kitchen ! ” Dalai : " Whose Molly, Hexy ?? " James : " Willya switch-off that bloody rave-strobe-light, Hex !!! --- I'm almost pukin' tryin' ta read me favorite Thruch-mag ... " ;-) Luv HEX

Thursday, 8 July 2004,HEX : ... we know y'all just '... web-site junkies , scawling on cyber-space...', etc,etc,etc Well, b***** me !!! --- how things are evolving ! ; from camp-fire to computer , Baxter makes it all ,oh-so-clear ! So '... pull the curtains, dim the lights, take hold of your mouse , and step into the shady world of cyber-rock...' (Tempest 1998 ) So where to from here ? ... 1) Camp-fire convos are still as fun and existentially stimulating , as they ever were , no doubt ,even in the cave-(wo)man days... 2) Baxter's ' yeah-what-ever-we-can-handle-it-all ' refreshing editorial, suggests that the book technology is still one of the most enduring we have , now and into the future---support Rock everyone : it DOES ,generally, improve with each issue. 3) Cyber-rock ? --- ' The Hex ' can envisage ,a not too far off time , when there will be an inter-active climbing function on Chockstone , allowing for people to meet, climb/belay with each other, with-out actually etc,etc,etc Obviously, cyber-climbing / chatting is here to stay---is that a good thing ? If the likes of Chockstone , Qurank , RC , etc,etc,etc can provide reflections of / alternatives to / competition with / even inspiration for , the general climbing-culture , then that has to , surely , be a good thing... Chockstone, Rock mag , Arapiles camp-fires--- defiantly room for them all ! ( to blend )... ................................ Author Tassie guidebooks Onsight 18/02/2005 >Yes.

Fascinating times indeed --- how WILL Baxta respond next ... Luv HEX & Kent ;-) ----------------------------------------
Bourge 18-Feb-2005 10:03:34 AM	As Kent's aneurism the other day shows, the cyber-medium is a very fragile one - the 'archives' can be wiped at any time - a user can delete all their posts if they get skittish. The printed medium therefore still retains it's attraction, as the pile of climbing mags in the dunny will attest to, but the cyber-climbing-feeding-frenzy provides us with the 'quick fix' that gets us through the Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec. The Rock provides us with delayed gratification. But the two media really are different. One facilitates interaction and is a medium for conversation, an easier form of email. In the other, we take what we are given, what Baxter feeds at the quarterly feeding time and our responses are selected and vetted.

Given he is suffering from cancer and a few other ailments, he is struggling just to stay alive. I don't think he has ventured into the Wild/Rock emporium for quite a while.
Onsight 18-Feb-2005 11:50:12 AM	Um, Simon, don't you think his health issues are his personal business?
HEX 18-Feb-2005 1:13:18 PM	Yeah --- don't anyone dare mention anything about Rick White ... I must say that Baxta gave quite a public indication to said conditions, in a recent Wild-mag editorial-portrait-photo... Anyone know the latest on Bryden Allen ?, Wombatz ?, The Pope ?? Time4yafluvaxinekiddyz... Luv Dr HEX ...
HEX 18-Feb-2005 2:41:27 PM	???????????????????????????????????? Kent feels sooo un-suuuure as he taaaakes his hand and leads it to-the-key-board ... As his posts all die !! something in his eeeeeeye, brings to mind this cyber-screen and-all-thatz-sad-but-wise ... Hez neva gunna post again !!! Guilty fingers got no rythm !! Tho itz easy to pretend... We know Kent's not a foooooooo-ooo-ooool ! He shoulda known bedda than delete his threadz ! and waste a chance that he'd-been-given ! Now hez neva gunna post again !! The way that was per-fu-uuu-uuuume !!! WOO-WOO-A-WOOOOOO !!! Flamingo-guitar-solo... .......................................... Luv HEX & Georgemikl ... ????????????????????????????????????
IdratherbeclimbingM9 18-Feb-2005 2:51:24 PM	I am sure if you search enough of other peoples contributions where they have quoted him, you could resurrect some gems... Heres yachanceto getimoutacontext! ... Perhaps we should just keep adding them to that thread as we trip over them and see what kind of incoherant story it turns out to make ...
Bourge 18-Feb-2005 2:55:38 PM	Kent was a disturbed, complex character. We don't know what we'll find in there. Careful what you unearth
