Reading through an old thread I ran across something by Dbluzman.

Thinking he hasn't posted in quite awhile, I'm curious if he's still trucking and hoping all is well.

Can you think of any other posters that have disappeared ?
If you know why,it may interest some here.

I would think most of those probably didn't get too involved here.
I thinking people who were old timers or somewhat regular posters.

Are you saying that the people that post here, that don't run furniture stores, are the cream of the crop ?

Totally agree with OVM :) Regular postings(and lurking) by these 10-20 percenters, to me, indicated the desire to "make it" and be successful. It motivates to stay in focus.

Over the years I've noticed...the personality types it takes to make it in this biz....ya gotta be thick skinned and tenacious....If this site and the BS sometimes gets to you...there is a good chance you are not going to make it....you have to be flexible and able to accept new ideas.....Ya can't be "stuck"......LOL

Over 15,000 members, current average 24 hrs viewing counts is about 1200. Yep, I would raise the question too. Either way, job security for the cream of the crop.

a room full 10 recruits/newbees.... have them look around...because highly likely 9 of them won't be around in a year from now....that is comforting....

But why did he just disappear? Should have told us he was leaving. Kind of hurt my feelings

I met many folks out there driving 8-10 years, never heard of EOL. He drives for an owner, so no maintenance hassle there. Now he's on social security and a pension and he's happy,,,No worries mate...He can afford a Sprinter, does not want the hassle of owner ship, says he sleeps well..........lol The reason some do not post but lurk around,,,I think they get gun shy,,some postings here are not always pleasant...imho.
