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about former Audiogon members that provided some degree of satisfaction whenever you read one of their posts, but seem no longer active?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

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

Maybe I'm getting old, but I really miss those guys. The discussion used to be a lot more interesting, in-depth, and lively back then. Or, maybe it's just me? I have a personal affection for many of the others mentioned. Seems like we had a smaller world back then, and a lot of us used to interact more deeply. I've been thinking about this for a few years now, and off and on have considered signing all of my posts, "And where have you gone ABC?"

Rob Trankley was one heck of a guy, even if he wasn't someone who posted. Thanks for mentioning him, Lou_setriodes.

I've also kept up with Carl_eber, though I've lost his e-mail of late. Heck of a good guy.

I met up with Doug Sedon (Sedond) a year or so back, he's doing fine. Still has his hilarious eccentric spelling thing going.

I'm waiting for Arthur (Aball) to pull an Abe Vigoda, "I'm not dead, you idiot!" on us here. His postings on tube versus solid state power of late have been probably the most provactively interesting I can remember.

A few I haven't yet noticed are Eldragon, Garfish, and Leafs, though I do still keep in touch with Eldgragon and Leafs. I also wonder what happened to Bartokfan.
