So Where is Lannis?

Seems to be missing in action.  Just curious if health issues are involved, or whatever.

Just looked at Lannis' profile and he hasn't posted since 11/17.
He mentioned in his last post that he was going to try a little experiment (he was commenting about addiction to electronic gadgets/the internet,etc).  Based on that, I suspect that he's fine.

*Rodekyll also hasn't posted since 10/23.  Hope they're both okay.

 Lannis is a member of the Birt Bike site and posts there regularly including yesterday. I don't know him personally but my limited time here has seen him and "Dusty" argue often.......Now Dusty is a moderator....

It is common to have folks come, go, and reappear over time.  I have been around since 2007.  Active for a while, leave for a year at a time then come back.  Get mad at other members, have other priorities and interest all factor in I guess for many of the members..

It's interesting that I'm not the only one that gets concerned when fellow Guzzi posters go missing. Other boards are not like that.

I'm pretty sure that Dan sold both Guzzis and was giving up riding.

Things bein' what things be - I note that a couple of the most prolific posters have gone missing while another very prolific poster's status has been elevated.

Raising lost TBFs

Mowing a grassy knoll?

Maybe pluto being in Capricorn?

Mid season break to The Walking Dead?

Murphy's baby upsetting the zen of the apocalypse?

Jon Snow's wolf prowling the ether world unattended?

Itches not E-centric or simply living a life excepting of the false world of the internet?

Perhaps.... add equitable gasps here as apply to one's own life - the individuals are occupied living a flesh and blood life.

In any case, Lannis' color is color lost.

And have you noticed that the majority of the posts now are Guzzi related, even though it is winter here, in the USA at least.

Yeh that' funny right there :)

If you thought Lannis was fun on the board you should have seen them at work.  All I would hear was "that Guzzi friend of yours..."  He got out at the right time!

I have that priviledge to experience that on other boards. Two were Harley boards. Both required a dialog with a group to join. Pretty much screened out the RUBS and weekend 'biker' types.

Any controversial topic that has a lively discussion is deemed "political" and zapped.  Topics that are considered "political" are deleted before they become a discussion topic.  In other words censored before they become a controversy and not "political".  The rules of the board are "political" topics are banned not topics that are controversial.

 I haven't weighed in here for obvious reasons . To address the nuking of political topics , Luap gave the mods very explicit instructions , no politics . We have members of every political stripe here . So... if you want to discuss that subject , there are hundreds of sites for discussing politics , religion , sexual preferences , etc etc . What might seem PC to some is offensive to others , and vice versa .
