Thanks Andrei - I remembered that it happened to you before which reassured me. Actually I found it quite funny. I thought that maybe the new moderators are clearing out the 'dead wood'  ;D

So, I am about to become a reluctant 'missing member'.

Any explanations please?

I can only think that I am being banned because of:

1) My failure to always complete the 'WHY DID YOU EDIT YOUR POST?' directive.

2) My zero response Eurovision song contest thread

3) Going 'over the top' about British Music

4) Over enthusiasm about Klaus Egge

5) Rambling on about Miaskovsky

Answers on a postcard please as this may be the only way of contacting me  :o  ::)  :(


All of the above but especially because of the Eurovision massive error of judgement....

Wait, there was a Eurovision thread?
I finally have the ability to edit my signature again. But no, I've no idea what I want to say here right now.

Quote from: kyjo on May 23, 2023, 08:00:13 AMHi everyone, I haven't been very active here recently, but I just wanted to say that the forum just doesn't feel the same without John (Mirror Image) and Cesar (Lovfald, formerly SymphonicAddict) around anymore. :(

Didn't he just change his name back to Symphonic Addict again?

Indeed RS - a classic blunder of the first magnitude  8)

I shall be working on my 'Strictly Come Dancing' thread in due course - this is bound to be popular here.

I miss aligreto. He hasn't been active the last three months.
Any so-called free choice is only a choice between the available options.

Has ultralinear left? I went looking for a very helpful post about books on East Germany and its been deleted, along with all but five of his other posts. We only had a few exchanges, but I was hoping for more over time.

A shame his departure. However, I never understood why he often deleted his posts. A strange behaviour.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

That's odd, and why leave those five posts?

Ultralinear routinely deleted his/her posts even before apparently leaving? I hadn't noticed that. Well, the account hasn't been deleted, so perhaps there will be a return.

They are not the only user who routinely deletes their old posts, either. I noticed someone delete one after 24 hours recently. I don't understand it as a behavior...

Bachtoven has come and gone?

And deleted all his posts, including those about the sad death of his lovely cat...?

Nothing unusual for him, he does that regularly. He'll be back soon.  :D
