There is either something rather weird or rather sad about how self-referential this thread has become in recent...years.
(Oh the cruelty of time.)
I was reading through some *really* old threads (from the days before I joined) while waiting around at work today and it prompted me to notice that
HerenIstarion hasn't posted since early this year.
Also, my former
REB cohort
Diamond18 hasn't posted in a year almost to the day.
And thinking of her put me in mind of another mighty colleague of
REB fame,
Rimbaud who has not posted since '08.
