I'm still around, I just post a whole lot less, for a variety of reasons.
For one thing, I work more demanding hours now, and have a lot less time to post, but also I must confess I sometimes grow tired of all the trolling and recycled "HOW COME YOU CAN FLY AROUND THE WORLD" posts as well, but I'm glad on my periodic checking of the boards that some unique, serious discussion is still taking place. I still try and fulfil my moderation duties as best I can, removing obvious spam and checking out problem posts.
Anyway, perhaps I'll make an effort to post a bit more regularly again, despite my stretch for time. It's nice to be venerated and missed, thanks for the post!
