Looking for "Dorge" <*)))))))><{

There was a member named “Dorge” who used to contribute to this forum, but his last post was over 15 years ago. Is he still around? He had a really unique and creative way to sign off which was a fish created from symbols on the keyboard. <*)))))))><{ I absolutely love it and would like to ask his permission to rip-off his creativity. Or is it similar to retiring certain ball player’s number?

I believe his name is Dorge Huang and his last post on rod board was 13 yrs ago. You may be able to get his email from an old post, or google his name. He did give a lot of info concerning surf rods and LC guides on rod board.

Thanks to all responding, especially Chad supplying Dorge’s email address. I am not typically one to run with someone else’s ball, but I am very impressed with this fish symbol. Ya’ know, simple minds = simple pleasures.

Yes, that name was often called upon while on the BFHP, Bass Fishing Home Page message board. Although, that board is a board that if I remember correctly mostly bass enthusiasts was Dorge offered much info and advice to the constructing and building of surf rods and low riders, and amongst the alloy used in the making up of various different guides. He kinda disappeared and didn't see his post much.

Always interesting to read what Dorge had up his sleeve.
