Really? It was funny for a week, 6 months later he was more like a pretentious t**t that we couldn't get rid of soon enough, definitely not missing him.

Negoba is someone I miss seeing around here.

Easy Livin' and Tony log in occasionally, but rarely post. They're both alive though, Easy had his umpteenth birthday last week (on the same days as Guigo btw...).

WalterDigsTunes is active at RateYourMusic and still writing new reviews, in case anyone misses him.

I really miss Iain (Snow Dog) and have no idea how to get hold of him, given that I do not do Face Thingy, or Twitty. I hope,he is alright, and any reports would be welcome.

I also really miss Eric. The site ain't quite the same without his brilliant Marillion insights.

I do not miss Walter at all. Quite a hefty tit, if you ask me.

A true sweetheart in real life. He was a REAL pleasure to meet. He stayed with Raff and I a couple of years ago and we went to the Magma show.

I had laughed at him for being so star struck talking with Christian Vander while Vander and I just smoked cigarettes together pre show .. but he got last laugh when I turned green later when I bumped into Stella and we locked eyes over the desert table after the show and she left left me a quibbling mound of man jelly.

what a woman...LOL Heart


Last I heard he was in Hawaii doing his patriotic duty as the best of us did, we were FB friends before I took leave.. of taking leave of my senses .. of FB.

Good call on Eric (E-Dub). I do keep in touch with him through Facebook but he was a great asset to this place. I'll never forget when Neo pretty much got left in his hands alone and we combined the genre teams for a while. Great to work with and just a great guy all the way around.

Yes, Eric is a great guy, and one of the few people I miss from FB (which otherwise I do not miss at all). As to Jon, I hope he's doing well. Very nice guy, and very knowledgeable about music. On the other hand, I am very happy to do without Walter, Henry Plainview and other such "colourful" characters. We have to face enough aggravation in everyday life to want more of it on a music forum.

yeah HT.  He had the patience of a saint not to unfriend me on FB.  I did often get a bit carried away in my political rantings which I don't exactly think he was sympathetic to LOL

That would have stunk.  I loved keeping up with him and that GORGEOUS family of his.

Eric, Snowie (Ian not Iain) and Alex (harmonium.ro/Andu) are all still around on Facebook from time to time, as is Vic (Ricochet).


Walter was banned for picking on newbies and being quite obnoxious with it, not for his silly (but never funny) post 1989 views.

It was amusing that Nick (Henry Plainview) hasn't been seen since we promoted him to Forum Moderator. Often what people believe the Admins think of them doesn't quite match what the Admins actually think, and I expect that came as a bit of a surprise to him.
What?

Hi, everyone. H.T. posted on my Facebook that my name has been uttered here and there.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't purposely stayed away. A lot of things have happened between then and now and spend most of my time on Facebook. Perhaps I'll drop by more often. A lot of good people here that I miss a lot. Miss the old days when me, Ivan and HT ran the neo team.

Hope everyone is doing well,

E

ps. I love it that the listening room is still in honor of Febus. What a tremendous loss.

Very humbled by the comments, too. And Micky, I realize we're all different. I'm not going to unfriend or banish someone only because their views differ from mine.

Honestly, I feel a bit guilty regarding a thing between the two of us a few years ago and you proposed we add Steely Dan and I pushed too hard against it and it got contentous. This came on the heels of you defending me against a pretty heartless attack against me when I was going through a bad health issue. It was never personal. Believe me.
