"searam" Where the devil are you??
and reported on my findings on 22 January this year and asked the rez (Rex) who lives relatively close to where Sean was living to investigate but we know Rex has been very busy with his mother of late (although not so busy as to stop him forwarding to me and/or the John dstewart "badrats" loads of jokes etc)
So Rex ????
Sean's last words here were:-
"Actually, it may be better and bigger than that! I had a meeting with my entertainment attorney last night and some HUGE things are brewing! Kepp your fingers crossed and when I am allowed to speak about it, I will certainly share with all my friends.
Sean"
I sent him a PM on January 20 2006
his old website was

I looked up in the wayback machine but the most recent archived set (from March 2005)
says simply:-
"This domain name expired on 02/04/2005 and is pending renewal or deletion."
See an earlier set from february 2001 at:-

where I read
"SEAN ROBERT RAMUNNO

OK we know he got remarried fairly recently but I am not the only one who would like to be reassured that he will be living happily ever after
I sincerely hope that in all these cases there are good reasons for the lack of response or postings and no doubt there are very many others who have stopped posting as their interest in GL has waned.
hard to believe but there!!
But if any of the above do read this please reply so that we know you are well
John Fowles
and the obvious lyric quote which I hope is not prescient
"You got a lot more living to do and a lot more loving too"
