If this is true, then my hopes for a Lyman coded RUSH are smashed.

Quoted from RobT:People need to stop acting like Kaneda is the only source of the rumors. He’s not.
not being a wise ass but who else is putting their name out on this rumor?

THANK GOD 
Quoted from Rascal_H:This thread is my favorite part about Kaneda haha
Just joined his Patreon
Kaneda flat out owns Pinside
Got his name in over 5000 mouths
May as well just give him the keys to the place

Not to mention all the endearing pet names people give him that wouldn’t match in your search. All highly entertaining.

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Really, it is a joke. And its ok to make jokes.
Ever have your dick cut open to remove a infected polyp? I have, chicks love the scar.
So that old term from back in the nineties about a person being a "pus nuts" was coined after you?

I've almost been taken by lymphoma.
So, fire away. 19 body parts removed in one surgery. No, not my brain.
Ever have your dick cut open to remove a infected polyp? I have, chicks love the scar.He does, actually very nice guy.
You think he's happy about Parkinson's, no. But he wakes up everyday and moves on.
Just humor gang. Nothing personal.
Most people don’t get that humor is therapeutic and allows conversations around otherwise taboo topics.
Ever seen a non-funny comedian? Ya, they’re the ones that don’t cross boundaries.
Fuck the sensitive PC butt hurt “that’s not cool” haters, not worth your time, fire away. I laughed.

Shit has its name in over 34,000 mouths so using your logic it's about seven times better.

All you can do is laugh at the shit show that's going on today. If you don't, you'll lose your freakin' mind.
And hey...Howard Stern made a fortune off of off-color humor. So you shouldn't have to be Howard Stern to float an offensive joke from time to time.

Beelzeboob's grief counselor died. But he was so good. Beelzeboob didn't care.

Who’s Kaneda? Never listened to him. Don’t know why 1 person banned from pinside and hated by more people than he’s liked gets any attention. Ignore him and he’ll go away
Quoted from radium:In his podcast today, kaneda’s theory is Lyman is going to work for Planetary to write new code for classic Bally/WMS pins. Seems highly unlikely to me.
Geez, why the downvote? Sorry I thought it was pertinent.
Quoted from ypurchn:Who’s Kaneda? Never listened to him. Don’t know why 1 person banned from pinside and hated by more people than he’s liked gets any attention. Ignore him and he’ll go away
Well, love him or hate him, his podcast is different from anyone else's. And he does give some unique takes on various pinball-industry issues.
In spite of his past very-poor behavior, I think the pinball world would be much less interesting without Kaneda. Kinda like that ahole valet Thomas on Downton Abbey.
Melbourne
Quoted from desertT1:So who is going to do stake outs in Chicago and see what front doors Lyman and Steve walk through?
We used to count coils, then count cars in the carpark, this is just the natural evolution.

A waste of everyone’s time. Stale bread is more interesting and worthwhile. People who don’t actually care about pinball but have money to burn really seem to love him.
Can’t adjust a switch but will rush to his defense and site episodes as indisputable fact.
Quoted from DakotaMike:Kinda like that ahole valet Thomas on Downton Abbey.
Except that is just a talented actor playing an ahole on TV for dramatic effect. The real ones in real life should be perpetually ignored. Their insecurities in needing audience should just arouse pity.
Quoted from desertT1:So who is going to do stake outs in Chicago and see what front doors Lyman and Steve walk through?
If it's like the old days with Data East and Williams. They'll likely go in in trench coats, black plastic glasses with fake plastic nose attached. So you don't know who is going in and out.

Well stated Rob!
Quoted from DakotaMike:I think the pinball world would be much less interesting without Kaneda. Kinda like that ahole valet Thomas on Downton Abbey.
This is a great point, since they both have the same approximate number of pinball machines and experience working on them.
Quoted from ypurchn:Who’s Kaneda? Never listened to him. Don’t know why 1 person banned from pinside and hated by more people than he’s liked gets any attention. Ignore him and he’ll go away
Because everywhere he goes on the internet, he gets banned. He has an honest to god personality disorder.
Kaneda who? I've read his name here quite a lot over the years but I know nothing about him. After seeing all the crap he gets from all over time and time again I don't want to know more either. Stop talking about him and let him disappear into oblivion.
-Kaneda is bad, m'kay?
Düsseldorf
Quoted from seenev:"See, rumors bring out the truth."
What kind of statement is that? The truth that Lyman doesn't work for CGC? Something that no one believed until he said it himself?
Wow... Thanks for confirming what we all already believed.

It's the "I can state whatever I want and until someone proves me wrong I'm right" kind of 'journalism'.
Btw. Gary Stern now working undercover at Deeproot, you heard it here first!

He's says while talking about him...

Up vote purely for the Downton reference.
This entire thread absolutely highlights the worst of Pinside. Once disproved, click-bait threads spouting pinball rumors/lies should just be locked. I mean, what is the benefit of keeping nonsense threads like this open? It's a REAL reason a lot of pinball friends of mine no longer hang out here. Truly sad.

What’s been disproven exactly?
Lyman might not be working for CGC but that doesn’t mean he’s still at Stern. Disprove *that* rumor.

You're saying that disinformation on the internet is a problem?
I had no idea.
If Lyman had been out of Stern 8 months like the Podcaster speculates, we would have known long ago...
Those quoting me are exactly proving my point. Good job!
The only rumor you you guys should focus on proving is "Pinside is no longer a fun place to hang out to discuss pinball".
Yeah I think we should lock all the rumor threads regarding the next Stern titles as well. Those rumors are NEVER true.
Quoted from RobT:Yeah I think we should lock all the rumor threads regarding the next Stern titles as well.
Yeah, because that's the exact same thing... Good job proving my point once again!
Quoted from snyper2099:Yeah, because that's the exact same thing... Good job proving my point once again!
It is the same. Its based on leaked information. Ie rumors.

Just keep telling yourself that... Did you know that Stern cabinets now actually have a drop of the programmers blood in each of them? Stern felt bad about no longer including a printed manual so they are coming up with ways to make up for it.

Thats the kind of statement that a narcissist makes because it would be too difficult for him to admit that he was wrong.
Quoted from Strummy:Thats the kind of statement that a narcissist makes because it would be too difficult for him to admit that he was wrong.
Well, it's 2021... No one is ever wrong now. It's actually been that way for 10+ years.

How did nobody know this for months and months? What was EHOH's last code update? I'm shocked.
