I Miss Talbot..

[Spicerack]

I was reading some of his old threads, funny and clever.
Of course, I miss other posters as well but Talbot left of his own volition.
Anyone else wish he'd come back? (if he's allowed)

[emmie]

didn't realise he'd gone, to be fair you never know the reason why someone stops posting, unless you hear through the AB grapevine they have passed away

[Spicerack]

He sort of flounced nearly a year ago, em.

[wolf63]

I 'heard' that he has returned, but it could have just been the voices in my head or, maybe, my Cat told me.

[emmie]

as i said you never know the reasons someone flounces off, perhaps he had had enough of Ab

[Spicerack]

Don't think so, wolf. You couldn't mistake his posting style, imo.

[Theland]

Reincarnation maybe?

[wolf63]

spicerack - you may well be right. I have to admit to being confused about the alternative identities of a few of our AB members.

☺

[emmie]

i know one or two who have returned, but i don't let on as it;s not down to me to out them...

[rowanwitch]

Apparently he is back... For a while I expect. She says innocently
It's a case of spot the returning members... Mostly they are just staying within the rules. It's got a bit lively again it's a shame they can't always play nicely

[emmie]

indeed some are just plain spiteful, nasty comments, usually they get found out in the end.

[LadyCG]

Yes, hes back. I wish he'd just come back as himself though.

[rowanwitch]

It would make life easier if they all did.

[Prudie]

Gosh I nearly mentioned him yesterday as he was at the top of related threads on something or other. I have always missed him massively. If he's back I hadn't noticed. He was always unmistakable in a few previous names. I'd be thrilled if he was back but miffed that he hadn't given me a clue as I think he knew I was a major fan.

[Spicerack]

I haven't noticed either, Prudie. We'll have to be more attentive.

[naomi24]

I rarely recognise people who return under a different name. I would like to see Talbot back too. I was very sorry when he left. And Svejk.

[rowanwitch]

Apparently he is back too

[naomi24]

How do people know? Is it a grapevine thing - or are they just good at detective work?

[rowanwitch]

Maybe they are in contact off site,

[naomi24]

That's a thought.

There are several new posters who have clearly been here before- and I think most can name 4 or 5 but although there was a hint of familiarity I have not been able to identify them. Some of them must know each other though because clear rivalries were formed very quickly
