Boy! Ever since Larry lowered the boom over at Marlin Owners, the old group has sort of disappeared. I was hoping that everyone would regroup over here, but it doesn't seem to have happened.
I'm really glad to see some guys are checking in and to tell the truth, I've been out looking around, but everywhere I go the plethora (is that spelled right) of forums are just overwhelming. I think our old gang is a great bunch and it would be a shame to let it fade away.
Maybe everyone just got busy, or maybe they are looking for a topic to catch their attention. Either way, I think this little forum that Bill has been nice enough to let us have, is as good a place as any to try to keep it going. I'm asking that anyone who is just looking in, to check in with a short post and let us know you are still around and if you know where any of the rest of the guys are hanging out, maybe you could see if they would give us a shout.
This is in no way meant to exclude new guys from joining in; I hope others will find this group as stimulating, friendly and enjoyable as it has been for me for these past many months. Maybe after a prudent period of time passes, it would be a good idea to change the name of the forum, so that new guys wouldn't be put off by the title. For a time it would be good to keep the old name in parentheses though.
