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about former Audiogon members that provided some degree of satisfaction whenever you read one of their posts, but seem no longer active?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

To add to the list, what happened to Abecollins?

Most of his posts were in '01 and '02, a bright guy from Colorado that I always thought I would meet up with at RMAF.

Musicdoc, quite a few post between '01 and '08 and then pretty much nothing. He was inquisitive, a fan of analog and as I remember, working on a hot Chevy street car, an Interesting guy for sure.

Also remember Ohlala, his posts were fairly prolific from 2000 to about a year ago but I have not noticed much if anything from him lately.

An early post from Ohlala mentioned that he was a struggling student. Perhaps he graduated, found the perfect girl and now has no time for Audiogon. I hope good things are keeping him away.

I sensed someone talking about me...but then again, I've been accused of being psychic before.

Just clicked on the forums for the first time in over a year and this is the first thread I read.

Miss everyone and hope everybody is doing ok.

I should stop by more often.

Thanks for thinking of me Tim, it really means alot.

Sdcampbell. Where are you? Great contributions on the reason that we all do this crazy audio stuff: music. His thoughtful, and measured (no pun intended) posts and recommendations on jazz were always terrific.

I miss Redkiwi's postings, don't remember seeing anything from him in a good while. I really found him to provide great insights into many subjects. All of the previously mentioned members were great contributors and I particularly miss Cornfedboy's droll wit.

Ellery911, you would have been in one of my other lists, pleased to see you back even if just to check in.

Others to add are Chadnliz and Sugarbrie.

Sugarbrie comes from Sugar Britches, the name of Tom's Maine Coon Cat.

I always got a laugh when I saw his moniker. Tom and I spoke several times at CES and I always ask if he brought the cat. That made him smile.
