Torodd is doing well, writing a lot of reviews for his blog and also working on a new novel. He emailed me a few days ago. I saw him more often when I was still on Facebook, but I like to keep in touch with people who have proved to be friends over time.

He came on quite strong and a little troll-like at first. I even reached out to him during that period but he wasn't having it. Eventually he did calm down a bit and did have some good things to offer. By that point we were friends.

I lurk but don't feel as compelled to join-in as much as I once did, it's now more amusing to watch from the wings than get involved in the thick of it. The atmosphere in most of the threads that I posted in got a little too unfriendly for my liking and since the common element in them was me then it was evident the problem was me and not those who chose to argue against everything I wrote. Certainly since I've stopped commenting on practically every topic imaginable the forum seems to be a tad less aggressive and antagonistic even if the number of negative threads hasn't decreased. [Perhaps with Eric, Stoney and HT back in the fray they can defend Neo from those who think that "cheesy" isn't a derogatory term LOL]. 

The only "safe" thread for me seemed to be Eric's Prog Chefs thread, but this isn't a cookery forum and even then I found I was tending to repeat myself - thou' of late I have discovered the joys of non-curry based Indian cooking so maybe once I've perfected some new recipes I'll post something tasty in there. Approve

Having said that, it's nice to see some of the "old gang" getting back together and while I don't see that it is possible to recapture the "Spirit of '07" (or even a good idea to even try) it is a genuine pleasure to observe that the thing that unites is stronger than what pushes away.

I have enjoyed my time here immensely - I enjoyed the pioneering work Micky, Guigo, Chris Stacey and I did in Crossover (less fun during the 6 months or so when it was only me on the team, but hey-ho - A huge shout-out of gratitude to Chris, Olav, Brian and Marty for stepping in there). In spite of the crap and baggage that came with it, I also enjoyed being an Admin - I think we did some great work holding the site together during some pretty turbulent times and what you see today is a testament to that - Bob, Tony, Guigo and Jim were amazingly tolerant and level-headed people to work with, it was an honour to stand along-side them. As I said to David a while back, the one thing I am personally proud of is opening the site to self-released artists (yeah, I will take the credit and blame for that Wink), but I'll never miss the spammers, the trolls and the rating-abusers or those who cannot separate the Admin-badge from the man who wears it. 

[As an aside, perhaps some of those returnees could say a few words about their favourite ex-Admins in the Retired Admins Hall Of Fame thread in the CZ].

Anyway - it's always a pleasure to read your effervescent flirty posts Sonia, each one makes me a little less grumpy.Hug 
Dean! Big smile We just became fb friends, thus we can stalk each other now legally LOL but dang, blue eyes yayApprove you are the hottest looking grumpy I know now Smile big hugs Hug

Yeah, nice young chap, indeed every pic he posted was in his room, if his current absence is because he is having a bit more of a real life outside of the net, be it welcome, but I hope he will drop by again some day. Maybe he got a Progger girlfriend? I would be happy for him Tongue
Ozark Soundscape is Smart Patrol.Ouch

Thank you so muchSmile! Watch out for a new review in the next couple of days. I don't have a lot of time for writing these days, but I try to post something every now and then. I'd love to write something for PA too - perhaps during the holidays!

I swear reading a review by someone called "smartpatrol" on RateYourMusic not so long ago. Could be a different person with the same username as the PA user, though.

Hi Chris
Thank you for thinking about me and Amber who has been gone 5 years now.  I haven't been posting anywhere really except FB.  I see Micky and Raff found there way back.Wink  I decided to post here ytoday because i was reminiscing on some of the silliness that went on here 10 years ago and thought of my post in the linked thread. On page two maybe is the greatest thing I ever posted here.  It has to do with maps and a certain Genesis drummer.  Wink  Anyway happy holidays to you all.  
Brian
