DJL 235 #1 Posted December 4, 2024 Thought I'd check in here since I stopped coming to this forum about 5 years ago. It's funny to see the exact same issues being hashed out by the same people but I'm trying to remember a few faces and see where they went. So, it's thread time, there are a few who were long time writers like John Rich, I think he was banned or left. Then a few who's name I'm forgetting like Ron(?) from Georgia?, that guy Pennsylvania who ran a small 182 joint for a while, gun nut, ex military, climate change denier. Where'd they go?

Ron still posts occasionally, so does Bigun. I think (Reese?) New Zealander was banned years ago. You’re wrong by the way - we no longer debate guns and religion here! It’s no all about being woke.

RonD1120 62 #5 December 5, 2024 I'm still around to view posts. Mostly, like you, I lost interest. I'm 82 YO and dealing with metastatic prostate cancer. Not much else matters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,360 #11 December 5, 2024 Hi John, For some strange reason, once again I cannot do a Reply to your post. I do really miss Andy9o8. He not only brought some sense to the nonsense, he, as a lawyer, could back it up. I learned a LOT from him. C'est la vie, Jerry Baumchen PS) You are absolutely correct on your prostate cancer post. A good friend, for over 70 yrs, has it & now with 6 months to go, if he is lucky. The Reaper is out there looking for all of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,442 #13 December 5, 2024 Andy posted in Incidents reasonably; I think he still reads, but doesn't get involved any more. Lots of people like that I have a feeling. It's just not the social center it used to be. It takes a certain kind or amount of excitement to maintain, and since dz.com lost its shiny newness, no one really considers the value of all their individual contributions (yes, I'm even including the ones who bounced after proclaiming their incredible skill and above-average skill at canopy flying).
