I haven't seen anything from Dr. Betty in a long time. Ditto BrianandMargaretinAtlanta, Neal Stephens, Martha Python. Did something happen?

And where oh where is Oaktown Traveller???

Dr. Betty and I correspond occasionally. She tells me she has a lot of other obligations that preclude her visiting here as often as she used to. She is doing well otherwise, as far as I can tell. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

My guess is that Oaktown took so much heat on the USA forum that she's laying low for awhile. I don't blame her. Either that or she's on vacation!

And what about Paulo? He's been missing for weeks! He can't be on Copacabana Beach, that's for sure ...

Except for Paolo, I don't miss any of them!

After being repeatedly bashed as pinheads, selfimportant members of fodors clique, know-it-alls, pompous asses and thought police, they've all left for more friendly places.

Well if the shoe fits.....

Sorry some of you feel that way. But I've been reading some of the older threads that have been topped, and I miss those guys.

They were all kidnapped by Gypsies and are being held for ranson in some remote area of Italy. Please send me all donations as I am collecting the ransom money and I will be sure to forward it to the Gypsies.

You know the ROBBERS and MUGGERS talked about on the DON'T GO TO SPAIN tread.... thats them. <BR> Anyway, I like the new regulars better.

I don't understand. <BR> <BR>Who are the "new regulars" & who (other than the people in the initial post) are the old regulars?

And wehre are Luige and Patrick? <BR>

Where's Waldo?

And April? And Owen Neil?

Inquiring minds, <BR>These are the long time regulars - Al/Arizona, Ben Haines, Bob Brown, BOB THE NAVIGATOR, Cheryl Z, Dan Woodlief, Donna – djkbooks, Ed – twenj, Elaine, Elvira, Hamlet, Harzer, Ilisa, Kam, Kaykk, Lee Simmons, Lori, Monica Pileggi, Neal Sanders, Patrick, Paulo, Richard of Hickory Hills, Richard rcva - the cyclist, Sally Fowler, <BR>Sheila Ritchie, Thyra, Tony Hughes – Stellarosa, Wes Fowler and xxx @xxx.xxx <BR>

Thanks, "Wondering"! Maybe some of these folks are on a "vacay" or trying to get some relief from the heat! I have seen an occasional post from s. fowler & elvira & a richard v who is @ ameritech.net. <BR> <BR>Still don't know who the "new regulars" are.

At over three and a half years tenure here, I would think that Maira "counts" as a long time regular. <BR> <BR>This is the oldest post I can find searching on her name: <BR> <BR>Should I feel guilty about visiting Germany? <BR> <BR>Author: Maira ([email protected]) <BR>Date: 1/02/1998, 12:30 pm ET <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Hi there,,,, I guess since I made an appearence on the regulars list above... Husband and I got a great deal on a Safari to Kenya in March.. so I've been on the Africa boards (not nearly as active :0) <BR>However it's just great to see a troup of new posters popping up. Happy Travels to all.

OH DEAR POOR DEAR YOU LEFT REX OUT OF THE REGULARS AND He'S feeling neglected
