Wow!  Welcome to the mailing list!  Do you have an ET right now?

I'm not the person you're talking about, but I know a little about him.  
The 
website and guestbook you refer to was built a long time ago (ca. 1997?) 
by 
Walter Hammer.  At one time Walter had a large collection of ETs and 
parts.  A 
couple of years ago he seemed to have gotten into some kind of complexity 
with 
his personal situation (Note that I'm guessing on this and know nothing of 
the 
details).  Shortly after that, he sold off his entire ET collection.  I've 
heard nothing from him since.

    Their talk was the talk of sordid buccaneers: it was 
    reckless without hardihood, greedy without audacity, 
    and cruel without courage; there was not an atom of 
    foresight ... in the whole batch of them, and they did 
    not seem aware these things are wanted for the work of 
    the world.
