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

We will have to wait a bit for his confession then.  ::)
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

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.

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