Good to see Edashtv back?

It seems fair to this loose Cannon!

Have you the balls to fire?

It's been a long while since we heard from our friend Marthe in the States. I've been thinking of her in the present qrctic conditions they're experiencing over there right now.

It's also been a long while since we heard anything from Greenilex and Stillhomewardbound. Has anyone got any news of them?

They are certainly having a very tough time. A very nice person, she seems.

Zucchini, I do not know at all why that is there. The only thing I can think of is, looking at the keyboard, I meant to have used the button on the left of the question mark. The full stop!

Greenilex was on the forum in mid October and Stillhomewardbound visited on 7th December .

It was a shame Roehre left after an argument I wish he would come back . The most baffling disappearance remains that of amateur 51 who was last seen on Christmas Eve 2014 - someone did manage to contact him by e-mail and he apparently had router problems or the like was I recall but he has disappeared for good after having been one of the most frequent posters of all.

With the latest outbreak of Bruckner6ness ..... is it just me or have we not seen P.G. Tipps for a while ...???

I would have thought the interest in Bruckner 6 might've tempted Scotty Celt, too.

The resurrection of old threads does have the effect of one noting the names of the disappeared as one scrolls down. It was rather poignant a while back to have an old thread brought back which included posts from both the late Chris Newman and Salymap.

But, as FF has pointed out, people leave for all sorts of reasons. Just lately, I've found the Forum eating into my listening and reading time and, as I'm still in full-time work, I've been considering sharply cutting back particularly as the time just isn't there for me to make considered posts. End of night postings, tired out after a busy day in the office can lead to some sloppy wording, poor research and ruffled feathers so I'm still considering a New Year resolution to scale down.

In fact nothing brings this forum together like a fresh craze for a BRUCKNER symphony.

Gordon, who started the first Bruckner 6 Thread in March 2016, has also been "quiet" since November. I hope that he has been enjoying an extended Winter vacation in warmer climes and that he will rejoin us as and when it suits him to do so.

We don’t want another disappearing name Pet!

I’d say no need to make a ‘big’ decision, just post as and when you can.

I’ve noticed Beefy disappears for a while and I probably do myself!

I do occasionally hear from 'Gordon' and I gathered once or twice that he was finding less of interest to him these days He was also much involved with VLV.

No chance of my doing a Roehre or Am51 but a scaling down seems right somehow. The end of day posts when I feel tired are a concern as I am up at 6am and don't get back in until over 12 hours later. A CD programme and it's bedtime whereupon the cycle starts all over again. Retiring at the end of next year so expect the situation to improve.
