Well, hell..I am one of those who drifted off and forgot about the place ....until I got the email.
Damn...I used to really enjoy the site. I remember a lot of those names mentioned. Spent a lot of good hours here. Dunno how it got put on the back burner but FWIW I haven't participated in ANY forums for several years. Life, I guess...
Wishing everyone the best and thanks for having a great site.
