FINALLY back from a rough day. And, as to this thread , however, I should have narrowed my " wonder" to long timers, prolific posters ( they shall remain unnamed) etc. To me it's a bit like mr. gore divorcing after 40 years. WHAT??? In any case, I understand the short/sometimers peeking in for a few and splitting. It's those "others" who I wonder about. Why and where have they gone? I must also explain that I , because i merely fly fish and fly fishing (as I indicated in another thread)is NOT my way of life, have no need to leave here for greener pastures . I do not visit other sites other than maybe once or twice as a matter of curiosity so maybe for that reason I feel no need to leave. I really don't know what's out there but also don't have the time or need to find out.
This is a warm , cuddly place for the most part with few exceptions. I could be one of those exceptions but you can make that call.

PS: Nam, I read your comment and got this warm feeling. NO, I checked
THAT being said, I'd rather be in Wyoming.
