Yes, Daniel the Celtic Warrior. He was only on the previous incarnation of the board, I think.

I was also wondering what happened to Kim in Tulsa.

And Cranberry. Cranberry rocked.

I know it sounds a bit morbid, but ... I have a note of online people for my family to contact in case of the awful happening. I have friendships online that are are valid and important to me as anything offline, and it worries me to think people might just be left hanging.

It was discussed in another community I belong to, and it is a morbid subject, but also inevitable - planning is always good.

However, I know how offline life can catch up all the free hours, and I'm thinking all the people named above are just having too much whistlin' fun to have time to post here.

I've been here. I'm in the middle of moving and I'm staying at three different places an only one has a computer so when I do get to come here I only have time to read private messages and a couple of posts then I have to go. Plus I've had about five thousand hours of filling out job applications and such so my time is eaten away easily.

I wouldn't just leave out of the blue, I'd make a big occasion out of it and make people send me goodbye presents and stuff.

I miss MikeR who left some months ago after a remark of his was censored. Whilst I accept the need for policing by those who own the board—we are their guests—I do think the misunderstanding that led to Mike leaving was unfortunate.

I knew you didn't really leave. I just said it to pull you out of lurk mode

Wait a minute, how come I only have 11 posts, now? I used to have nearly 500. What a jip!

Maybe I can redo myself and start again with a whole new name.

Add me to the list of those who miss Celtic Warrior, and Kim in Tulsa. Oh, and Serpent, too. I wonder if it's his whistlesmithing that's keeping him away, or the not-so-long-ago arrival of his grandchild?

prolly a little of both, madguy, but I emailed him a couple weeks ago and he said it's the whistle business that's got him running around like a headless chicken. He quit his desk jocky job and is trying to do whistles full time now, I think...

He signed up here when we moved, but only posted eight times.

Also, Blackhawk wrote:
"Actually I did just think of someone I miss, Wandering Whistler. I liked him a lot. He was always there for the newbies like me, and he had a wealth of experience with many different whistles. He got run out of here by the crabbier types who followed him out the door shortly after he left, those who didn't put up a website with the sheet music for many different tunes like he did."

Greg was one of us from the days of the old board - nice guy to have around. Of course, he still posts - over there.

And Sunnywindo said:
"Not to mention the more than four hundred people who have registered but never made a single post. Where are they? Sometimes the thought crosses my mind wondering if any of these people joined and then something awful happend... serious injury, death, etc.... that prevented them from ever posting. Or that someday if the board stays around, some who are regular posters are eventually going to age and pass on, or some accident will happen. How long will it be before their absense is noted and what happend to them is learned? A day? A week? A year? Sad thought. A tad bit morbid? I guess. Perhaps I just think too much."

Some folks are just naturally lurkers. And there are some who sign up on every website they visit - many of which they never get back to. I know what you mean, though. Some of us invest so much of our lives here that its almost like a real place. At least in places where you're physically present, your absence wil be noticed pretty quickly, but it is kind of sobering to realize that you can vanish from here as if you'd never even existed - witness this thread.

There has also been no new material on his own website for a while now.

I belive he had been in the states for a while, but he is back home now.
