No, it actually does. That is the point of asking.

Dear Walter,

Well lets see, and in no particular order.

Sane, Wigs, Gordon, Blue, Squeak, Trent, Sass, Gonzo, Prof, Floo, Walter, Sriram, Rose, Jack, Jakswan, Robinson, Spud, Owlswing, Rhiannon, John, ippy,  Jeremyp, Jim, Vlad, Humph, Harrowby, Seb, Alan B, Dicky, Tripp, 2Corrie, Maeght, Shaker.

That's 33 regulars and I might be missing some notables, so it's a no to your question.

But you have given me food for thought, I don't post on any other forum but I think I have one of those twitter account thingys, So Mods what's the best way to direct people to this forum?

Dear Walter,

I forgot Torridon and old ado, that brings it up to 35, of course I could add Gabriella, a brilliant poster ( I do wish we had more Muslim members ) and, what about our very own NicholasMarks.

That makes 37 so far, which I think is not bad for a not to widely advertised forum, and lets not forget, quantity is only one aspect, what about quality, I have said it before but it is worth saying again, we have some fantastic minds on this forum!!

Whatever else one has to say about Nicholas Marks, he certainly livened up this forum. :D

Dear Waltz,

And another I overlooked, the wonderful Enki :P

Nah!! I don't think we need to worry about this forum but we could do with some ideas to zing it up a bit, Floo was suggesting something for the old foggies but we already have that, it's called the Religious and Ethics forum :P :P

You missed Outrider, ekim, Hope and Brownie (though both of them are banned). Lots of regulars on the Christian Board I think you have missed.

I wonder about Leonard too.....and horsethorn and Betty.

Leonard was in his 90s, so, I say with regret, and hoping I'm mistaken, may no longer be with us. He had an amazingly sharp mind for a man of that age. I wish him all the best, wherever he may be.

Yes, some just seemed to stop posting: I miss Synonym; Drygthon's Toe and Feelin' Blue and Lapsed Atheist hasn't posted for a while.... although I may have missed him as I don't have time to look-in here as much as I used to.

Sweetpea,

Agree about Leonard, as we have posted elsewhere we made a number of behind the scenes to contact him, but none have bern successful. We've been trying to tempt back Alien with offer of a formal debate between him and someone who would be a new member on a subject of Christian doctrine. Of all of the posters we have lost Prof W is the one I miss most.

Yes..SweetPea. Maybe you're right about Leonard.  I also miss Lapsed Atheist.....another mature poster.  Of course, I am not sure about Oak King and merciful-evans.  Sometimes people change their names...which also can be confusing.

I can't comment on Len, but my wife and I met and chatted with Horsethorn, Betty and Grantus Maximus very recently.

Yes, it's a shame no detail can be found on Len.

Prof W was a character and I enjoyed some of the music he posted.

No, it actually does. That is the point of asking.
  You answered the question with an answer. The logical point was that you did know.

Now this is strange, because my memory is generally poor, but I remember merciful-evans saying he had joined the board to try and find-out more about the 'mystery of God'. He also posted that he had a specific date in mind as to when he would leave the forum, whether his questions had been answered of not... and he did.... his last 'farewell' post was on that very day. Why I remember that I really don't know, haha. I don't think he's returned under another name, though.

My impression, Walter, tnough I haven't known you long, is that you have no empathy. Could be a 'pose.'hope so.

whoa, Robinson

and I haven't known you long either but ill tell you this. From what I've read ,  I like you. A lot.
You inspire in me emotions I thought I had lost , feelings I thought were confined to history . My history. But , I'm embarrassed to say, you have awakened, so deeply , so profoundly my weakness, for ..... women . I am putty in their hands .

Please , if you have putty, use your hands to gently manipulate it into a shape that will bring pleasure to you each time you gently hold it , careful, its precious
