Um, I don't think so. One of the few who used the Listening Thread to the fullest, IIRC.

MI must be Neo Romanza at Talk Classical. Someone with that username joined this month and already has posted 164 times! That sounds like our boy  :D ...as does this list of favorite symphonies:

1. Walton
2. Elgar
3. W. Schuman (although Honegger's "Liturgique," Roussel, or Casella's Sinfonia could have easily went here)
4. Ives (although Schmidt's could have went here)
5. RVW
6. Milhaud (although Sibelius could have easily went here)
7. Pettersson
8. Shostakovich
9. Bruckner
10. Villa-Lobos

Well, good luck to him there...and good luck to his forum mates  :D

I should put this under the Grammar Grumble, but I just corrected a translation from Latin by an 8th Grader which has the following monster: "...the Roman army brang back a great victory."   ??? ??? ??? ???


Mirror Image may have become too embarrassed by some of his ad hominem outbursts.

I noticed John of Scotland has last visited GMG on the 14th, but has not written anything since late in April. 

Let's hope things are busy for him in the best sense.

It is not such an uncommon mistake.  It reminds of another thing I have heard more than I wish, "I borrowed him $100 and he never paid me back."

Oh well, it's just rock 'n' roll.

Yes, Talk Classical has a habit of banning members more often than most people change their underwear.  ;D
