Was the owner of the MWO website ever named

[GregW]

I really miss the 'horse' and now if you visit http://www.mediawhoresonline.com/ the server is dead.

Sigh .... this site way way cool.

1. I loved the site and was sorry to see it go, but I never found out who...

the owner was.

2. I found this history

Don't know if it will work, I rescued it from the Google cache..
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:XdlnH5Q5i10J:www.bmedia.org/archives/00000167.php+%22media+whores+online%22&hl=en

As best can be determined, Media Whores Online originated in Tulsa, Okla., in 1996 when a self-proclaimed "ADD Catholic with an IQ of 64" began an irreverent left-leaning e-mail listserv called RL-LNW, short for "Rush Limba -- Lying Nazi Whore." Shy yet passionate, its low-profile editor, Terry Coppage, took on right-wing agendas with cutting and often crude humor. He received some financial help from Marc Perkel, an eccentric computer programmer who ran against incumbent John Ashcroft in the 2000 Missouri Republican Senate primary, garnering 10 percent of the vote with almost no campaigning. Soon Coppage began publishing his commentaries on a Web site called Bartcop, and adopted the moniker "Bart."

4. BartCop wasn't the author and publisher of MWO

He'd be the first one to tell you that he wasn't the writer.

6. Oh, I know

But bartcop was the one who popularized "media whore" on his listserv room.
he probably knows who Hesiod is, but isn't saying. I suspect that Hesiod is a big, well-known name by now.

3. MWO was my intro to leftist web-sites

They were a great site and their message forum was a welcome relief from the repuke-infested MSN sites where I used to lurk.

5. This new site seems to have a lot of the same "flavor..."

...but again is anonymous.

7. Yes! I suspected the same!

It definitely has the same "feel" for the subject.

10. And they take vacations just like MWO. eom

8. Bartcop, Buzzflash, and MWO....

They were my staples, as well.

9. I sure do miss The Horse, even after all this time.

Mega-kudos to whoever started that site.
