Al? What the? I know you weren't intimidated by any of these meatheads...and your sense of humor was too well developed...so...hmmm... you need Guido Fon Goul to pay somebody a visit?

I don't know what made Al decide to leave this forum... but I will miss him and what ever reason he left was no dought the result of someone stupid doing something stupid... a lot of that going around.

The suppositions are so far, off the mark. It isn't bashing or name calling...Al's not a weenie who can't handle that crap...besides too many of us have his back...
Speculation is better left to commodoties dealers.

First Bill Palmer, then Tim Drake. Now Al.
Let's face it, no matter how P.O.'d they get, they can't resist my charm. Best of luck my friend. You're one of the good guys!

Thank goodness I know where to find you.
If I may... I have 1 post-it note in my office. It's been there for a while. It's from Al. He sent it to me with a bunch of high quality rubber bands for various effects we discussed. The note reads... "Frank Don't use sh*tty Rubberbands Al" I'll keep it always Al. See you around!

This is very sad news but let's not waste the opportunity and all slag him off while he's not here.

I know why (As do several others), you won't find it here, but look anyway.
Al is a good man who expected others to show a little backbone and clearly expected too much. At least I can still talk to him.
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.

I enjoed his posts as well and he looked like a fun/cool guy from his avatar too.
Sad to see him leave but appreciate the announcement, that was class.

It was short for Alabaster. He is a white guy.
If this trend continues the guys who actually have knowledge of subjects will be gone and you will all be left with Me and Josh #2 (Yes, I know I should have said: "Josh #2 and I" but I'm simply a better person in every way short of couch sales, therefore more deserving of first mention). Anyway, this is not the Café's self destruction, but "Penguin-forum-fication" we are experiencing.
