HF experienced something of a mass exodus a couple of years ago. Many members made a mistake, but pride is preventing a return. Meanwhile, I an still here to discuss anything involving science, engineering, architecture, film production or cardiothoracic surgery. Oh, I nearly forgot opera. This is my vision of a new HF member. You will need to read the subtitles. Needless to say, it does not apply to you, because you are already 'second hand'.
--------and over the years, many, many posters just faded away---some with a couple of years here and some with 10--15 years posting. I had many favorites and I just wonder some times-------
