John, Jim Slattery was one of many who used to be very active members on this site. They used to participated in the 'forums discussion', 'chat rooms', 'swaps', attend 'fish ins', 'personal sales', etc. A lot has happened here on the site since it was started back when. That includes the deaths of of members who've meant a lot to the site. Anyway, what caused people like him and similar members to slow down or cease their participation on this site entirely may have been caused by a multitude of personal reasons.
