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about former Audiogon members that provided some degree of satisfaction whenever you read one of their posts, but seem no longer active?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

I wonder if anyone knew Inrit (Rob Trankley) or had the pleasure of dealing with him. Over the years, he bought and sold a lot of stuff on a'gon and unfortunately passed away about a year ago.

I don't know how much he posted on these forums but for about 7 years we were audio internet pen pals and became great friends. Over the years, he had acquired so much audio gear that I always valued his opinion whenever I was considering making an audio purchase. We also traded audio gear as well. Definitely missed by many.

Albert thanks for mentioning me, to think someone of your calibur thinks of me at all is nice to see.
I just had lost the deisre to post for awhile, life, disability and all got in the way for a time too.
But I am still here and glad to see everything ticks along.
I miss Pat, towards the end of his struggle I talked to his wife via email if memory serves and was waiting for my med refill at first of month to send him some of my Fentanyl patches but sadly he didnt last that long.
Not sure if my Duragesic patches would have been a help or a negative........I dont take them anymore and I think I saw they were pulled from the market.
OK enough babble............God Bless you Pat.
