Where have the long-time regulars gone?


With the holiday season here, I find myself thinking about friends and acquaintances, as well as the good people I have met here on Audiogon. Next month will mark the start of my fourth year of participation on Audiogon, so it is with regret that I note how many of the long-time "regulars" who began this forum are no longer making posts (at least not with any regularity).

I miss the spirited exchange and occasionally sharp differences of opinion that were aired here (although I don't miss the nastiness that sometimes crept into some posts). I always enjoyed and/or learned from the posts by folks such as Albertporter, Cornfedboy , Garfish, Bob Bundus, Tireguy, Trelja, Sc53, and others, and the forum section is the poorer for their absence.

So, I pose a 2-part question: where have the long-time regulars gone, and what will it take for them to return so that this forum section regains its vitality of old?

Hey Scott,
Thanks for including me in your list! I haven't disappeared, but like Tireguy my personal life got kind of hectic, then my work life got busy, and now it's the end of the year again. I was asked by a friend recently to put together for her a list of my favorite recordings purchased in 2002, and it reminded me of how I loved your Jazz List of 2001 last year at this time. I hope you will have time to do a similar list of this year's best in jazz, in your most-valued opinion. My list for my friend is in the alt.country/singer-songwriter vein, and I found I had many excellent recordings to recommend to her for this year.
I hope you are still enjoying your system, your music and you job hunt! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all the other regulars and irregulars. This is a great site, whether for buying, selling, learning or just shooting the breeze. I never tire of checking out the forums each day. Like others, though, there often isn't a lot I feel the need to chip in on.

Whoever Sluggo was, I think Clueless does a great job on the humor and witticisms in the forums. I have burst out laughing so many times at his contributions, esp. his signature line: Sincerely, I remain,
