Been reading old Books threads, so now I miss Keep' and doug*platypus.

And Lindolirian.

I see that nobody missed me in my short period of absence... oh well...

Mithalwen · 06-19-2008, 02:02 PM

but despite the fact we had many differences of opinion culminating occasionally in strong exchanges of views, I find I miss the humour and intelligence of The Saucepan Man greatly and hope that life is treating him well (now that he has seemingly discovered that it is sustainable beyond the Downs).

I miss Saucepan Man too, and Fea. Larger than life figures both, but I also miss Numenorean. Where are you, man?

You know, he still has the most posts out of all Downers.

Despite not having posted for five months and little before.... yes..... while there are a delightful bunch of newer arrivals I do miss Sauce, Heren, Fordim and the reduced presence of others such as Lal and Dave.... the giants of my early days here...

I am sure you will empathise, Mith, when I tell you that reading the Grimoire while playing DWW, and now looking at Nilp's sig, has made me pine for Ang again. He was going to co-mod your operatic WW at one point, wasn't he?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 06-19-2008, 02:44 PM

Ah yes, the other Downer, whose name would just not come to me a few moments ago, is The Only Real Estel. Funny guy.

I hope I can get him at least to act as consultant still. Yes there are many whose presence on the Downs I miss - including Ang whose posts were utterly delightful - but have the consolation of knowing that they are ok and hopefully enjoying life through LJ and Facebook.

There is an extra poignancy about the absence of people you only know through the Down's.
