Spooky-ists will have greeted the Farewell of Winwaloe with mixed emotions
ranging from relief to puzzlement. The question "why?" has been a
subject of energetic debate among the intelligencia in the ivory towers of
Reigate. Or more correctly "why?" and "who?".
Why did he choose Winwaloe rather than one of the many hundreds of other
Cornish saints? Was there, indeed, truth in the rumours about
mackerel/mermaids and french sticks? Who is he? Why the
anonymity? The suggestions have ranged from the vaguely plausible - that
it is the pseudonym of another Spooky-ist, even the VJ himself, to the frankly
bizarre - that he is a Jacques Citizen who for professional and/or social
reasons has felt the need to hide his identity.
Winwaloe himself knows his identity. Others may have guessed it.
One or two remain who lost interest in the game long before he picked up the
ball and refused to play any more.
With his departing Winwaloe leaves behind some gaps on the pages of SSI, a
much relieved VJ as promulgation is eased and a bemused RT. One thing,
though, is certain, Winwaloe may have departed but he has not gone. Could he
resist the temptation of finding out how the world reacts to his going?
Greetings, Winwaloe, from the other side.

More relief than puzzlement down here. And more a "what?" than a
"who?" or "why?".
Anyway, don't go around spreading such malicious and scurrilous speculation
that Windy might return. Tell you what, if you're missing him and he does
re-surface, I'll forward his e-mails straight to you. You can reply to them
via me and the two of you can have your own little personal thread on SSI
while the rest of us (well, definitely me and Gill so far) get on with
enjoying a Winwaloe-free existence.

I wasn't. It's just that I can't imagine that a bloke like that could
resist the temptation to keep sneaking a look at SSI to see what peeps are
saying about him. Its called control. I didn't think you hated me that
much. I gave up reading his/your rants ages ago - they were sooooooo
boring. Don't know why I read the last page. 6th sense must've
told be something big was going down. No, you can keep him, if it's all
the same to you.
I thought you'd already decided on the "what" unprintable
though it may be.
' still, nuff of W and on with life

Well mebbe. But just remember, Winwaloes are like atomic bombs. While it might
initially seem like a good thing to be able to able to cow people into
submission by threatening them with one, human tragedies of enormous magnitude
invariably follow when one is actually used. Of course, I was expecting him to
have a sly peek at the post-Winwaloe utopia of SSI but you appeared to be
encouraging him to come back. I didn't think you hated me that much!
Well, at first I thought he was a bit of a twit but after he revealed his
truly offensive colours I realised that it should have been an 'a' not an 'i'.
And so says all of us.
