I really miss the participation of.....

My guess , they will be back. This forum is different from all the rest, in a good way.

After exchanging PMs with them, I don't think they'll return.

Good point.

But I must say that I miss most of the members who left WBF. IMHO the forum became less informative and more even with their depart.

True. Some of these guys I know personally and like.

Perhaps if WBF gets a rep as a civilized place to gather and share experiences and opinions, some of the guys and gals in the stands may come out into the open. Maybe?

There have been times I have read a post from a person that I usually disagree with. But they make a point that I can appreciate and would like to comment but they throw in a jab or slight to one of the participants. This only diminishes their ability to sway others to their point of view. It also keeps some people on the side-lines because we don't feel like getting into a war over a point of view in audio.

Too much unneeded sarcasm and provocations going on in the past which often leads to useless heated feuds.
Although admittedly some infos maybe useful, but thrown with such tension, it's no longer worth it, imo. Bad for one's blood pressure!
Well, you lose some, you win some...
