As someone who has visited this site alot ove rthe last many months I've grown accustomed to seeing posts by increasingly familiar names. I've posted a few times under random nicks but usually stay in the background.

Lately I've been wondering what happened to the person named \"Diogenes\". He was here several times a day it seemed and had a very distinct writing style. I'v enot seen his name or his style of posts at all. He seems to have vanished.

I realize that people do stop posting all the time but I've read alot of posts alluding to his disappearence and was wondering if there was something else to the story.

Any info?<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Very
