Remembering an old furry acquaintance from the 1990's and realizing there is no way in this splendid universe I can track them down.

All my old emails from the 1990s are essentially gone and we've likely changed our furry names dozens of times by now assuming they're even alive.

I spent far too much time trying to find the threads of connection. I did eventually confirm his furry name, offline name, and his old email but after that... it ran dry

Did I spend too much time? yeah but sometimes old memories are like that.

@ZiaMacPine it also helps to ask close friends for loose threads.

But also, almost all of the NM furries I knew disappeared like this ^^;

@artfulreggie Oh wasn't an NM fur.

yeah I did ask people who might have been mutuals but this was a while ago in my furry life and my connections have changed

@ZiaMacPine I actually made the mistake of tracking one down a couple of years back only to learn they went far to the spiteful right.

Which is a shame as they were once one of the most articulate and clever furs I knew.

“Sometimes dead is better.” 😞

@artfulreggie yeah perhaps it is better not to know at the same time curiosity has its influence.

sorry you had such a negative experience with this rediscovery though. Was this an NM fur? now I am curious if I knew them.
