Why not?!

[Shawn Gossman]

Feel free to ask me stuff and when I remember to visit TAZ, I might actually answer it

A bit about me? Been running forums since I was 12 years old (that was 22 years ago). I remember BBS. I remember dialup. I remember one song download taking days. I am now more of a YouTuber than a forum owner but I still run two forums. My largest forum had 10,000+ members and over 100K posts but due to my own stupid mistakes, I had to kill it. I am the former owner of Another Admin Forum which gave TAZ quite a few posts once I transferred it to The Sandman. I'm better known for getting under Lisa's skin by calling her Lisapoo. I work in QA management and have two master degrees, one is an MBA, the other is Homeland Security.

Feel free to ask me whatever you want, I'll bite

Do you use the skills from either of your Master degrees for your current role?

Well, almost 34 years ago this man and woman had a baby and they named him Shawn Gossman

Do you use the skills from either of your Master degrees for your current role?

The MBA I do. I do a lot of business stuff in association with quality. I was hired for my position because of my education.

Why?

Because...

Do you mean how many posts have I posted on all forums in total?

If so, that is like asking where the end of space is. LOL.

If I were to guess, I'd say close to a million. Maybe even more

I've been posting on forums since I was 12 or 13. Oh wow... I can honestly say, that was over 20 years ago!!! OMG I'm old!!!!

LOL, I'm answering this a year later (that is funny!)

No I do not chase storms anymore. I witnessed a significant tornado out west and got pretty good video footage. A big-time American national news network (will not name it) was going to purchase 5 minutes of footage from me for $1,000. Then they backed out when the town that got hit reported no deaths. They told me that a tornado hitting a town and not killing anyone, that news doesn't sell. That was the initial start that put a bad taste in my mouth of national news media - I've called them fake news long before Trump did because they're in it for the money, not for us...unless we pay them. Then I saw a lot of cell phone chasers getting into it and just doing it to look good and be on the news. Finally, chasers started dying, never heard of before. Too dangerous. I still chase locally sometimes but rarely film.

As for the beard, I keep a five o'clock shadow. Too much beard is way too hot and gray hairs really start to show...I'm getting old.
