I'm sure I saw a recent post from him. No doubt Admin can see when Mark last logged in.
Like others, I also miss him.

Also **SAY NO** to unjust 'vaccine passports' or certificates, which are totally incompatible with a FREE society!!!
if its a personal thing...we need to give him time.
He will look at this thread and know folk are asking for him.
"Real life stuff" (dont want to say what it might be) can be a terrible thing, something only he can work through.
C'mon back Mark, lots of folk here care and miss you.
That said, he might just be on holiday!
Had an email back from Mark - he's had a few challenges in life which has put hi-fi and forums low on the list but is essentially doing ok, and has every intention of coming back to AoS at some point - let's hope so!

I'm Shaun.
I am quite sure that this forum is not about pissing people off so I do hope that everything returns to normal fairly soon.
