Whatever happened to...............

As raised in a different thread, many much valued contributors to the old site seem to have gone.

One was Trip English who last posted here back in March.

I think this is Trip (not his real name)... someone will recognise him as being a B&O store manager in the US....  and will hopefully go into the store and give him a prod!

 

Anyone got any leads on other absent contributors?

I always imagined trip as a kind of pushy salesman who knew better than you . B&o seem to specialise in those.

NO WAY that pic is of Trip!

Flappo may have part of it... besides the reduction of a lot of general posters, there seems to be an appreciable drop in posts from folks that populate the official stores.

I am guessing (JUST A GUESS!) that B&o may have sent out a memo...

I could probably write that theoretical memo.  It would start:

"In the interest of better customer service..."

I know that guy, or at least his double - he's Finnish and raises chicken.

How sweet of you guys to mention me. I was alerted that I was being discussed!

I haven't posted in a while for a few reasons, but I still check in from time to time. Things are busy at the store, moved to a new (old) house, etc etc. Haven't had much time for forums, really. 

Maybe I'll make it a point to drop by more often and throw a few elbows for old time's sake. 

Hope you all are well.

Definately good to be this busy. We were doing a lot of custom business, but the cash & carry and mid-level systems had thinned out. Now those segments have come roaring back - bolstered, I'm sure, by a slowly recovering economy and some pretty amazing products.
