Amos,

Great post! And may I say, please don't "feel guilty" about participation in the "writing" threads----it's your posts in such threads that make me at least 25% more likely to keep returning to the mudcat!

I think Amos may also have touched on what is really missed about the goodle days---missed people. But I think it may be simpler than that. It may just be missing the enjoyment of hashing over memories, music and philosophies of those the first time. Sadly, one finally runs dry of multiple new topics to discuss. And re-hashing the old ones ain't th' same!
