**woodstockbirdybird** works like 2 jobs and has zero free time from what I remember. He’s still kickin’ around though. ---

**JillGat** has been around in the past couple of months that I have seen. I don’t think she’s gone. ---

I surely hope good things are happening in his life. \*\* I definitely hope so… we had an email exchange going for a few months. The last real email he sent me was around Easter weekend… and he just emailed me a few weeks ago to state that he’d changed his email address. Haven’t heard from him since, though. Maybe I’ll email him in the next few days… who knows? F\_X ---

All I know is that I think I was one of the last dopers to see **pldennison** and **Aghris** IRL. Either call the cops on my kidnappin’ arse, or put it down to the spooky “Sydney Triangle”. Dopers, don’t come to Sydney unless you want to disappear. 🙂 Must be something in the water. **Aghris** and **pld** are both really nice guys. I miss 'em. ---

I’m sorry, but . . . **SingleDad** was _banned_? Could you point me to the relevant thread? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by roadrunner70 \* > \*\*I miss that **superbee** chick. > > I haven’t noticed **Tripler** or **pezpunk** around lately either. \*\* Sure sure sure. You miss **superbee** but me? You just notice I haven’t been around lately. HMPH! 🙂 Actually I am kind of surprised that I even got mention here. I haven’t been around much because as much as I love the board, I get a bit tired of the drama queens and complainers and have to step away now and again. It’s a cleansing of sorts. I browse the boards and post sparingly still. ---

What about Funneefarmer? He was actually a dairy farmer from NY state. We exchanged a couple of e-mails regarding cows. ---

Well, **funneefarmer** ’s [been by](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3880535#post3880535) within the last couple of weeks, but he doesn’t post that much anymore. I _think_ I’ve seen him over at Fathom (where I lurk, but seldom post). Another MIA would be **sunbear**. ---

**Surgoshan** is a mod at Fathom, and last posted there on Saturday. ---

**LoadedDog** - I’m not sure if I’ve seen **pld** since his trip Down Under or not, but I’ve exchanged emails with him, and even talked with him on the phone, since then. I googled him and **Peta** using RL names last week; they still seem to be around and working in N.Va., and she still maintains an active animal-rights website. ---

**byzantine** has been gone a long time. She was one of the first posters I really noticed and admired for her witty bitchiness. ---

I’ve said this before elsewhere, but **Yue Han** was one poster I respected greatly from the time I first started lurking, about a year before I registered. **pldennison** was definitely another. And another one that I don’t know if it counts - **John Corrado** barely posts at all, despite his status as moderator. I enjoyed his posts, even if I didn’t always agree with them.
