FYI, Patrick hasn't left, he's busy. Matter of fact he's one of the speakers making a presentation in the Online Conference.

As Bruce has opined above, new talent will emerge. Looking back isn't constructive. Looking forward is. Already I see new "talent" starting to emerge. An excellent example is Phillip Box (Box Forge). The knowledge and experience he's sharing is priceless. And he does it in a manner that is lauded by all, and offends none. A standard all should strive for.

I hope you've caught my drift here. Now lets move forward.

I Agree, Phillip's posts are fantastic, full of good info for everyone, no matter where you are in the "learning curve"... Thanks Phil!

Have it your way but it sure seems the info isn't up to par anymore? The best reason to waste time on these threads was to walk away with your head spinning about what one misses on our own. The experiences shared are one thing, but when you get some juicey stuff that backs up and/ or confirms issues we deal with daily shoeing horses, it is a sad loss for all that it isn't there anymore. Kinda like killing the messenger but like the message? Backazzers?

No one got killed, and I've never made any secret of the fact that I always thought the knowledge was good. Nothing but respect for the posters in that regard. Regardless, if not done civilly, it's outta here.

Give it time, Gary. Others will step up. It's an ongoing process. The forums were here long before the "absent" ones, and will be here long after they're gone. Anyone who misses them so much knows where to find them. One other thing you may have overlooked is that not everyone is looking for the "head spinning" type stuff you may miss. Matter of fact, most aren't. Personally, I like it occasionally. But good solid "non-head spinning" stuff is desirable as well. To each his own.

Your input has been noted and is appreciated Gary. Your participation has always been an asset. But this will be the last post on the subject of what may be "missing" from "the absent ones." Future posts on the subject will be removed without comment. Let's move on.
