Why aren't the older members still active ?

Gammajo, very well said; I agree with every one of your points.

Mrtennis, I think that the answer to your first two questions is yes; although speaking for myself, choosing not to participate in a thread is not necessarily an indication of a lack of interest. As far as which threads might be of interest to older members, there are many. But as already mentioned, how many more debates about wether cables or fuses make a difference do we need? Or about wether Kind Of Blue is one of the greatest jazz records ever?

Maybe on top of newness gone and economy many just reached their goal or figured its just never perfect so quit fussing? Lets be honest new gear comes and goes but its seldom truely groundbreaking and after alot of exposure you just sort if see the more things change the more they seem the same.

I miss Sean too Albert. Let's hope he got married, or has a nice girlfriend who preoccupies his time. I hope nothing bad has become of him...or any of the guys from the past.

Agreed, Sean was the first that came to mind, we had quite a few conversations via email and phone outside the forums. A bright guy grounded in engineering and electronic principles and pretty much zero BS.

There are others, too many to name, but here's a few I have from my list, sorry if it includes some that may still be active or have popped up recently:

See any names you remember and wonder what happened to them?

Albert: Yes, although to be fair a few, such as Elizabeth, Russ and Dan, haven't really left from what I can see. But I don't look (lurk?) very often, I was lucky to find this thread. (Also can't forget that crazy diamond Psychicanimal, who I stopped hearing from several years ago.)

Gunbei was a lot of fun! I often think of Lugnut.I remember many on your list.
