Round up the usual suspects. Grin.
Dear Merg,
Taking a moment, and trying not to be so bold as to include myself in the group of missing individuals, but I am still around, just busy building a natural gas pipeline and writing a few operational gas programs for the pipeline company's computer in Northern British Columbia, Canada...
Sixteen-hour days seem to be the norm for me presently.
I will have a few images once I return to normalcy. I trust everyone is doing well?

I was looking through some PM's that go back as long as I've been a member of apug (2004), and nearly every one of the early corespondents has moved on. There are some, who like Jorge G, have simply left photography altogether, and others who have found more comfortable niches on other sites. As David said, it seems pretty typical of a lot of folks to spend some time on a forum and then move on.
I met the woman who is now my wife of six years on a photo site to which neither of us have posted for years. Now THAT's a nifty thing in itself!

I won't lay claim to contributing any spark, but I've been a member longer than most. Burnout is probably a good diagnosis...I still read here from time to time but I'm not so motivated to post.
So, what kind of (film, camera, developer, lens) should I buy? I've heard pyro will make good pictures all by itself. Where can I get some of that bokeh stuff? You can only get involved in these discussions so many times. I think I've (mostly) satisfied my curiosity about participating in discussion forums.
Robert's message reminds me of something I read recently by a very witty man. He had been a faculty member at a university, and wrote a piece about how faculty meetings are very poorly attended overall, but at his school they were always packed. Why? Because there were two faculty members who would always show up and trade barbs with each other, and everyone else wanted to see the show!
I guess I'm like those folks - I like to read the bickering, as long as it remains fairly (but not necessarily completely) civil! It is a good source of entertainment while I eat my lunch...
