I hate it when long time dopers disappear.

Anyway, from what he said, I doubt he’ll be back here again

Pity. Same thing happened with Paul in Saudi: he gets married and poof! Does he post? Does he write? What are we, chopped liver?!?

.Agreed - I wish they’d come back. However, I’m guessing that matt may be occupied with back-room politics, since the NDP is Official Opposition now.

Good point–that’s probably it. Come to think of it, I did see a message of condolence from matt in the thread about Polycarp’s passing, so I guess he’s still checking in, at least to read the board, when he finds the time.

Last post from her [i.e. mnemosyne], she had a new job, and a new car, and maybe a new house, so she might just be busy.

Or it may be that she’s mourning for the poor season by A.C. and the Als

Under those circumstances, I’ll go with “busy.” Yes, the Als had a lousy season, but with all of the above, it sounds like she’d be too busy to pay much attention to them.

Thanks for the updates, NP!

I always wondered what happened to Mr Cynical and also Montfort - but they went away ages ago.

Ages ago, sure. But I’m still in touch with Montfort most weeks. We became pals and play in a Out of the Park Baseball League together. He’s a tough guy to trade with.

Don’t worry. If you go into lurk mode long enough eventually nobody will remember you.

I second that.

I’m alive and well. I still have a house, but still no job.

I guess I just got out of the habit … but I’m always around.

I’m like the wind.

Aw, I’ve missed you and your quick wit. Thanks for checking in.
