Masato Sakurai posted regularly on Mudcat upto 2011, on the occasion of an earthquake in Japan. One of our most erudite contributors, he has not been heard of since. There are those of us who know when the time is right to move on to other things, and those of us who will keep going as long as we can.
Unfortunately, sometimes there are those of us who feel a little loss when one of our number is no longer active on the site (and there are many of these who kept us enlightened and amused over the years). For the most part, we know where the story ends, but sometimes our inert curiosity just needs that closure...so Masato Sukurai (Mudcat contributor---for there may be others of the same name) where are you, how are you doing these days?
It would be re-assuring to know that you are ticking over well.
Certainly, if there were any plaudits for your Mudcat contributions, then you would justifiably be in receipt of many!
