I wouldn't say I missed him, but did I find him more interesting or entertaining than many who post here regularly? Don't know if I'd say that either, but there's probably some truth to it.
Take 69'er, perhaps this boards most prolific poster. He posts a lot. About a lot of different things. There aren't many threads where you likely couldn't find a a few postings of his. And yet I'd be hard pressed to tell you anything he's written all week. Or month. Or year for that matter.
Would people think he's a better member - a better contributor - than the Brit? Probably. But I wouldn't be one of them. Because I don't come to a board about legal courtesans for anything more than fun, entertainment, with people with whom I share a common interest. So that means members like Cosmo, Sidey, Sled, Lady A and even ECE are always gonna be my preference.
Say what you will, but - love him or hate him - you can't tell me that you didn't regularly stop to see what the Limey had to say. Even if you thought he was an abrasive asshole, annoying troll or condescending know-it-all who actually knew a lot less than he thought he did, you had an opinion on him. You noticed his absence. Agree with it or not, you wouldn't have a hard time recalling what he said.
