Leads me to ponder whatever happened to folk who were posting back then. I sometimes wonder what the ratios are for:
Still Around : Bored of WO and signed off : Got Wrecked and signed off : Made Enough to Retire and Disappeared : Suffered Psychosis and Disappeared : Died
I would love to know those stats too. Many accounts seem to have gotten hacked which could've accounted for them. Plenty lost the plot. I think the smallest number will be those who sold a fortune and then signed out one final time with a salute and a toast.
As for the current price action, bleurgh. It is what it is and I would've been astounded had it been any other way.
