I've talked to Todd before about his prolonged absences; he occasionally gets very busy with work and simply drops GMG for a month or two at a time when needed. A couple years ago he was absent for almost half a year and it was just a big work project.

BTW I will be on vacation for the next 10 days so nobody panic about me.

We only panic when you come back.

;) >:D

I was being facetious, of course. Maybe he was engaged by Donald Trump...

We wouldn't, Brian. Anyone with 18,398 posts isn't going away fast.

This is a relief. I feared that his pile of complete Beethoven piano sonatas recordings crumbled upon him.  ;D

Now 18,403. Where does he get all that energy.

If Brian left GMG, there would be something seriously wrong with the direction the forum was going in. He's definitely going to be sticking around for awhile.

Speaking of number of posts, this is my 35,000 post. 8)

Does GMG hire members to write things?   ??? 8)   Is there health insurance and a retirement plan?

Where and how do I apply?!  ;)

Yes, we receive health insurance and were offered a 401K plan. ;D The life of a GMG veteran is all but an easy one, though. There are many long nights and sometimes even weekends. :)

I miss him, too. I'm friends with him on Facebook and he's either suspended or deleted his account. :( I hope he's alright.

Maciek, Elgarian and ZauberdrachenNr7 are dearly missed by me.

Actually, Maciek was online for a short time yesterday. I sent him a PM but got no reply.

I was wondering where Todd was. I've spoken to him a few times and always found it a pleasure.
"You overestimate my power of attraction," he told her. "No, I don't," she replied sharply, "and neither do you".

I, too, miss Maciek  :(

I think both Zauberdrachen and Elgarian left over rather insubstantial quarrels with some other member which is really deplorable; I hope they come back some day!

If we cannot even hold piece on this forum, how can we expect to get peace in this world I wonder.
