@T.C. ... Been noticing for a while now that two urls come up in a Google search for the Blues News Forum main page: one is the www.bluesnewsforum.com url, the other is www.letsgograpes.com. Is the latter actually yours, or some kinda spoof?

yes to both. LGG will bring you here as well. as i say in the "WTF & Welcome" post:

you can reach this place several ways:
bluesnewsforum.com
letsgograpes.com
est1967.net

You've only had 16420 Views of your WTF thread. What're the odds that one of those would've been me? But thanks for the unofficial explanation.

it's a holdover joke from the old BNF/LGB forum. it was very fun to use this URL to try to make a point when he started booting and banning people. but i concede it doesn't make a lot of sense if you weren't there for that, so i got the more normal URLs too.

a lot of grapes history here http://bluesnewsforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=268
