Inactive audio members that you miss

Do you ever think about former Audiogon members that provided some degree of satisfaction whenever you read one of their posts, but seem no longer active?

I, for one, really miss Cornfedboy. I thought his posts were hysterical, and they tended to put us all in the proper light: Crazy but happy. Then he signed off when he said that he was going to be doing consulting for Audiogon.

Then there is Sean. I thought his posts were very informative and I learned a lot from him. Then came the dispute with Audiogon, etc, and we haven't heard from Sean for a while. I think that's our loss.

And finally, Lugnut. Patrick sold me an entire box of LP's when I was starting a vinyl collection for the first time. He sold it to me for a song, and I think he took care of the shipping of this very heavy box. A year or two later I read on Audiogon that he had died. Tragic.

Do you have other Audiogon members who you enjoyed reading posts that, for some reason or another, are now silent?

Ah yes, Slappy and Suburuguru. Slappy cracked me up -- they guy definitely has a sense of humor.

Albert, that's great that you have such a personal relationship with so many Audiogon members. So far I personally know two people from Audiogon, so that's been the extent of my knowledge of people outside of interactions on this website.

There have to be many more that we're overlooking here.

There are some great answers here. I do miss TWL for his knowledge on everything analog. Sdcampbell had incredible classical and jazz musical knowledge (he does still have an eBay store, though, where he sells LP's -- and I even purchased his book, but haven't read it yet). And yes, sugarbrie, I remember his posts fondly, as well.

Another one I haven't heard from a while is psychicanimal. He was one of the first proponents of the modified Technics as a cost-effective entry into high-end vinyl. To say that he was dogged about it is probably an understatement. Still, it was entertaining to read some of his posts.

Keep the posts coming!

Maybe one day I'll be added to this "most missed" list...
