Jon Messner RIP

Added April 13th, 2005.More: Amateurs

Its a very sad day at FeedMe Amateurs. It has been brought to my attention that Jon Messner, the legendary webmaster and philanthropist who, along with his wife Cbaby, started the famous amateur site The Wetlands, passed away on April 8, 2005.

It was because of Jon that I started this site back in the late 1990’s. He will be sorely missed by many.

The man who sent flowers anonymously to every resident in the Berlin Nursing Home for Christmas died this week. That gesture was just one of several that Jon David Messner made without the recipients knowing the name of the giver.
He did not want his gifts or money turned down because of possible prejudice against him. He was best known as a pornographer, but he also used his computer savvy to work on national security issues and to hijack a militant Islamic website promoting the terror organization, al-Qaida.

His ability to use the Internet to investigate and to capture the site led to an invitation to speak at the country’s war college, the National Defense University. It was a highlight of his life.

Although he started spending most of his time monitoring several websites he set up to search for terrorist activity, he maintained the site that made him and his wife known around the world. Started from a corner in their Ocean Pines house, the website featured amateurs posing nude.
