I can be reached at stainles [at] mac.com, or stainles [at] sportsfirings.com.

My physical address is available upon application to those who establish a legitimate need to know.

My phone number is also available upon application. It is also listed in the phone book, and would probably not take a lot of effort for someone to track down. However, you should be aware that:

  1. I spend eight hours a day on the phone.
  2. I consider Alexander Graham Bell to be a meddling son-of-a-bitch who should have been shot by some public-spirited citizen before he perfected the telephone. (And, yes, I realize Bell had competitors who also could have perfected the device; I still say he should have been executed pour encourager les autres.)

    Earl:

    You didn’t know I was blogging? I didn’t tell you?

  4. Earl Cooley III says:

    I think the last time we discussed something in that area was back when I failed to convince you to database the SDC Logbook. It must have slipped by.

  5. Pat Cadigan says:

    I must have known that you were blogging but it probably took a while to sink in, or it fell out of my brain several times while I was negotiating the gazillion miles of bumpy road that is my life. Anyway: hiya, doll. Found ya. Always room for ya.

    I’ve been suffering from a bad cold most of the week, Pat, so that really made my day. Thanks.

    Hi Dwight,

    I wish I could remember what the email I sent you was about. Doubtless it was about something that really interested me in one of your posts. Anyhow, you’ve got my email so I’d like to know…

    PS Like your blog!

  9. Awesome blog about Earthquest. Here is an update:

    The Earthquest Institute is now defunct and its CEO (as Don Allen Holbrook LLC) is suing John and Jane Does who have dared to comment about this project and his involvement in it. He is also suing the Tribune, Cynthia Calvert, The Houston Press, Craig Malisow, The Pahrump Valley Times and me(Soapboxmom).

    Earthquest Adventures will be remembered for this frivolous, harassment suit filed by Holbrook in an effort to stifle public debate about this matter of public concern. Holbrook apparently thinks the taxpayers should have no say in how their tax dollars are spent.

    Please also watch for updates on the Earthquest Facebook page.

  10. Earthquest flounders still:

    Don Allen Holbrook has officially chickened out and has settle with Huber Heights, Ohio thus closing that joke of a case he filed against his legitimate critics. He is now hawking timeshares for Bluegreen resorts. That is one step above working as a used Pinto salesman. Hilarious!

DEFCON presenter who thinks you’re getting short shrift, or would like to provide me with a link to their slides? Comments are open. I will try to link to as many posted presentations as I can, but I’m not sure when over the course of the weekend I’ll be able to have posts up. The quickest way to make sure I get them up is to put links in comments or email to me. […]

    Don Allen Holbrook, the consultant with a hand in every Earthquest pie, is now making very thinly veiled death threats.

    Subject: Re: Formal Complaint Against IEDC CEcD and Fellow Member Don Allen Holbrook Part 1

    Dear Ms. Dobrott,

    In doing my preliminary review I’ve discovered that Don Holbrook’s membership and CEcD status lapsed a few years ago. He is no longer a member of IEDC (and therefore no longer a Fellow Member) and no longer holds the CEcD designation. We currently have no relationship with Don Holbrook and so cannot put this case in front of our Committee on Professional Conduct.

    Best regards,

    Tracy

    Good to hear from you, Soapboxmom. I hadn’t seen you post in a while and I was wondering if you were still out there somewhere…

  18. For those still furious over the 24 million smackaroos Frank McCrady spent on the EarthQuest theme park form Purgatory that is still just a pile of pretty pictures, I have lovely excerpts from one of Don Allen Holbrook’s worst sellers. Ranking 5-24 million certainly makes him the #1 Best Selling Author he claims to be…….right????

    Why pay for his tripe attacking all his critics when Fair Use makes the juiciest parts of SoapBox-Momster available for free on the EarthQuest Facebook page that landed in my lap. Holbrook dragged Calvert, McCrady and many others in by name. How Frank McCrady is still employed deserves an answer!

    Soapbox Mom! You’re back! I was wondering about you!

    Delighted to see you posting again.

  20. I am interested in the Broomhandle Mauser. Could you email me the website where it’s listed?
    Thanks,
    Bill
