Same here.

We got off on the wrong foot (to put it mildly) but sorted it out and we agreed on far more than we disagreed over even if we both were (are) pretty outspoken. He was a very nice guy, and since he was Welsh, that is a rare thing for me to say as a fanatical rugby fan.

We put the world to rights many times in PMs. His last one said he'd upset some (unspecified) moderators and thought it best to lie low for a bit, but I hope that's not permanent.
 
Yes....I believe they may be gone now, if I remember correctly, so maybe he will come back.
 
There were a couple I remembered but then I think one of them mainly runs around the MMA hallways.
I was gonna say The T but I have seen an occasional post from him.....1 page back as a matter of fact Big smile

I never got a bad suggestion from him.  It is great to see the old gang coming back together but that circle would remain broken until he returned, I am sure I am not the only one that liked and respected him greatly, but I don't think he will.  I think Raff has had some contact with him and real life, work, and a family seem to have taken all of his time and energy. 

perhaps some day. 

Yeah, I really miss him too and his endless barrage of recommendations. He sent me things that I would never have sought out on my own and opened my eyes to a lot of great music. Now the Ian's (Carss and Beabout) have taken over that role.

E, Great to see you on here.  It's weird, but I felt very honored that you fb'ed me when you were taking your leave.  I've enjoyed keeping in touch.

Henry was a hoot as well, Snow Dog too, a lot of people have gone on.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned Jody (The Progtologist if I remember correctly).  I haven't seen him in ages.
 
 
Someone was asking about why people fade from PA.  I can say this, I took a break for about a year and a half myself, for me there was just a general disengagement from a lot of the things that I had enjoyed.  There was a lot of personal strife going on in my life and music in general just didn't have a lot of the same magic that it had had throughout the previous forty years of my life.  It was mostly related to things that had nothing to do with music, but still, sometimes the death of one passion can have an ancilary effect on your other passions.


Awfully nice of you to say that, Tom. There were a couple of times in the interim where I'd come back and try to interact in the listening room, but got no responses. Perhaps my prideful little nose was bent out of shape and walked away.

Although nothing can be done about it, I sure do miss Antoine. What a devastating loss. Such a kind soul.

I do often what happened to Chus (Jesus) who was one of my prime hit men and overall tough guys when we did the Art Rock split. What a sweetheart. I know he went missing from here during the student protests in Venezuela all those years ago.  Anyone heard from him?

Yes, Chus! I found a Jesus Brea there in FB (Venezuelan, lawyer). I sent him a private message.

Can you imagine a forum with 2 South American lawyers? LOL

Glad to have Iván back.
And Raff/Micky, for that matter.

Oh yes, I miss Tuxon too.

Well, like Holden Caulfield said at the end of Catcher In The Rye (quoting from memory): in the end you start missing everybody LOL
