    The whole thread is here, locked for comments but still open for reading: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/189028/what-happened-to-derek-dskip/p1

    No need to discuss further on the forum. Myself and likely others are open to PM's on the topic. And if you have his number he would likely be happy to discuss things directly.

    I emailed Skip and he explained it all.

    I haven't seen @cfrizz on for the last few months. Hope she is alright.

    I can see people splitting the forum for one reason or another, I just wish they would say goodbye so others don't worry about them.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    new ones comin' as the old ones go
    everything's movin' here but much too slowly
    a little bit quicker and we might have time
    to say 'how do you do?' before we get behind

    There's still fun to be had here; take a look! B)

    She is doing fairly well. (will not elaborate on personal stuff on here)
    Talked to her a few times recently, most likely taking a break from the chaos this place is at times.

    Anybody have Cathy's number ? She seems to have neglected giving it to me. I have a compulsion to call her at 2 a.m. to ask her, " Is your refrigerator running ? ".
    She doesn't smoke so "Do you have Prince Albert in a can ?" Is not applicable.
