[edit] MousePlanet
Are you sure Al left MousePlanet? I thought he was fired. --Evanwohrman 00:00, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Fired!? I thought he was pissed off with something or other and that is why he left to create MiceAge. Wow, it will be interesting if he was fired.--Speedway 18:19, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
I am a friend of Al who was actually at his house when he broke the news to the MousePlanet staff that he was leaving (much to their surprise). --Chernabog 00:00, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Is Al in the Soarin' Over California video?
I'd heard a rumor to the effect that Al is in the little pre-boarding video shown at Soarin' Over California -- specifically, that he's the guest who removes the Mickey Mouse hat and stows it under his seat. Having met Al a few times (my wife used to work with him), I can see a resemblance, but it's been a long time since I met him and I can't be sure. Can anyone confirm whether that's true or not?
Not true. The actor in that video is most definitely not Al. --Chernabog 00:00 April 26, 2006
[edit] Pronunciation of Al's last name
As long as I'm bringing up obscure issues, I wonder about the edit a while back that asserted his name was pronounced "loots". As I mentioned before, my wife worked with him at a small company for some time, and I've frequently heard her pronounce his name -- always to rhyme with "nuts". If it's actually supposed to be pronounced "loots", it seems odd that she'd have been using a mistaken pronunciation for so long, and that he never would have corrected her.
Just wondering. --John Callender 05:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I know Al, it's Lutz - liked 'nuts'
[edit] Deletion
I feel that this page should be deleted because it is a Vanity page, this is a bias, one sided article about a man with a lot of controversy sorrounding him. Whenever some one types something negative about him, it is taken as POV. This article is only good for boosting his self esteem.
[edit] Reinstated
This article was deleted by someone who said it was "nonsense vanity", with "no assertion of notability." I have resurrected the article, and as proof of notability, submit these two newspaper articles, which not only quote Lutz but also use his reporting as their basis:
- So, does the fact that it was deleted mean that we've lost the edit history of the original article? That's kind of lame, if true. -- John Callender 04:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
However, neither of these articles say anything more than the fact that he is a blogger, if every blogger submits his own page, or if everyone ever quoted by a news paper get heir own page, what is the point? Wikipedia shoulonly contain valid information. --Ybahotshot200 04:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Now that the article has been rewriten, i retract my request for deletion. The way it is now complies wih wikipedia standards and contains a neutral attitude, however, i would like an Admin to follow this article, if possible, as it is a hot issue with many people. --Ybahotshot200 05:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
