I'm sure this has been covered before but where did Scooby, Doc and Chuck(G) go??
If anyone knows could they bring me up-to-speed via PM?
I miss their posts...
Thanks!

I know Chuck G is alive and well in Eugene, but I haven't seen him on here in over a year

I see evidence of Chuck on the mail list from time to time. His last period of major activity was during the short-lived political forum. His comment at the time (paraphrasing), there's only so much you can say about a tuba, but politics have no solution and therefore no end to the discussion. That politics forum was the only reason his post count got so high--he'd already started to slack off even then.
Priorities change.

I remember Chuck (G) and was hesitant to ask this question before knowing he was alive:
Was there a another poster named Chuck who passed away just a little while ago?

The good Chuck England is no longer with us. I believe that this is the person to whom you refer. I really liked the man and wish that I had been afforded the chance to meet him. He was a very nice person who wrote me a few very long PMs and emails over the years. I was very surprised that he had passed away.
Yes, that is the Chuck I was thinking of. He sent me a few nice PMs when I was first learning to play. Good information that I value.
Another formerly active member passed away - "Harold" was his screen name. It is a little odd to search the archives and see threads in which both of them and I have posted, knowing that I can bump the topic by quoting one of them, but that there will never be a reply to the bump. Life is funny. When this place started up in 1996, I am sure that Sean never anticipated that users would pass on and that their posts would still be here and that anyone could stumble along and bump one with a question, only to be told by some of us that "that poster passed away." How weird. Poor guys.
"Harold"/Shawn was given quite the musical sendoff by his band. I received an invitation to have a beer and lunch with Shawn a few months before his demise but was not able take him up on it. From what my friends who knew him well tell me about him, it was a real loss.

Four posters??? What, of the apocalypse?
They look sort of wooden to me... not as scary as I expected.
Somehow, I never envisioned the Four Postmen of the Apocalypse as being scary...
