You're right, Baz.

The interaction with Mark was one of the draws of the forums here...after he stopped participating and after some of us veteran members tried to jump-start discussions like the old days and those discussions turned snide and full of personal attacks over trivia , a lot of us moved on....more than three or four.

I don't blame Ron for getting burnt out.

I've posted this before, but it doesn't hurt to make the infrequent reminder...

For many years, Ron and Chris essentially acted as Gold Eagle's unpaid, volunteer marketing and promotion department in regards to Outlanders and DL.

Without their efforts, I seriously doubt either series would be around today (some might argue that's not necessarily a bad thing, but--).

Ron...you've more than earned the right to leave the garden unattended while you occupy yourself with far more important issues.

Y'know...I've heard rumors that Gold Eagle now has a crackerjack, uber-cutting edge marketing and promotions department.

So let them accept the responsibility for maintaining the garden from hereon out. If they don't have the inclination or the wherewithal to do so, then it's certainly not your lookout to keep it healthy...certainly not for free.
