swhitebull posts occasionally in some of the more political or terrorist-related threads, Ak seems to drop off a one-liner every several months, I think DJim mumbled something about a couple motherf&ckers in his chain-of-command raping him over the coals for posting here, I thought I saw appleciderus post a comment a little while ago, but maybe that was someone else, velocityvector definitely still posts occasionally, doggtag definitely still posts pretty regularly, platypusmaximus is definitely still posting his hilariously pithy comments, bigfella occasionally reminds us of the view from the left down under, Rocky definitely still posts regularly, though mostly about airplanes even older than him, Shirrush still occasionally shows up to tell us how Israel does not have any nukes, I think Herald ran out of chances, and Plutach stopped posting about the same time Petraeus started winning in Iraq.  The rest appear to have left for good, but I don't know about them.
 
Of course all of the above is meant in good humor... except for the last part about Plutarch.

Plutarch, yes... i put him on the list because of our previously few debates regarding Iraq and too satisfy my curiosity on whether he changed his opinion about it.

...one just has to keep in mind that,
especially for the more academically-oriented posters, this Fall meant school seasons started up and new semesters are well under way, so we may have seen quite a few posters enter into a less-active mode on here.
At least a few of us (myself included) have been sent on all-expenses-paid extended trips with Uncle Sam to the biggest sandboxes military hardware playgrounds we've ever seen, so we have to endure things like OpSec, restricted sites, and low bandwidth (if/when you can connect) now, too.
 
Bugger-all of it is that there have been quite a few discussion many of us would've liked to have had more time to participate in, but current situations just don't give us the time and ability to do so.
 
...but yeah, certainly a lot of the repeated childish diatribe, verbal namecalling, and elementary-school-level squabbling has certainly taken its toll on a good many posters who've been here for years.
Myself, I kind of see humor it, seeing as we pretty much have an almost predictable list of who's going to argue with whom over a given subject...myself, going back, I even see all too often myself posting up the same points I've been posting up here since my Day One on this site.
Maybe some of us have just become too predictable in that sense, then?
 
So in addition to any time restraints and schedule restrictions, maybe some of us are just waiting for some really good new material...?
(hopefully, we haven't lost any of these great posters because they've passed on from this world and the rest of us don't even know...)

Thanks for including me Panther. :) I don't post on stratpage anymore (save for this one exception), though sometimes I will lurk for the entertainment value. My leaving, contrary to what warpig or Sentinel may think, had nothing to do with the political situation either in Iraq or the US. Rather I had hit my three year anniversary, decided to take a break, got caught up in real life stuff, and given that all the intersting posters had already left, decided to do so as well.

I am on that "other board" with Bigfella, S-2, A.R. Shek etc., have been for a few years now. It is troll free, or trolls are quickly quashed, and the level of debate is of a much higher caliber, intellectually, then well...ahem. If you want to know my opinions on such matters as Iraq or other world issues (shockingly I do have other interests in international relations besides the Iraq War)  or Shek's or S-2's, I'd invite you to contact Bigfella to get the address and sign up an account, or just lurk (and grab Sentinel too). 
 
My handle on that site is slighlty different...but still easily recgonizable.  Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say that. Otherwise, enjoyed debating you Panther. If I don't see you again have a good life. :)

 
Adieu,


Plutarch A.K.A Herodotus
