Where is everyone?

You may or may not have noticed, but some of the most active
contributors to these groups have not been around since an
unfortunate incident about a year ago. Junko hasn't been around
since the beginning of 2006. I hope all is well with her and her
family. The best case scenario is that she is not here not because
of health or family reasons, but because she is otherwise engaged
(or even because Nesta's performance, reputation and popularity no
longer meet her expectations and she no longer finds it satisfying
to run a group for him.)

As for me, I am currently travelling in China and have limited
access to the net.

These groups have not seen 12 non-spam messages in a week for a very
long time. To be perfectly honest, I had been posting for most of
the past year, but it often seemed that I was talking to myself.
Personally, I find it takes interaction to have meaningful and
interesting discussions, and it takes more than one person to keep a
group going. (Afterall, not everyone--certainly not me--is like CA,
who had been diligently and tirelessly doing the "donkey work" of
posting Nesta news, game reports, photos and videos during slow
times and during Junko's previous short absences--well she still
does, just not here anymore unfortunately.)

For those of you who want to find Nesta news in English, try

As far as Calciopoli is concerned, my disappointment is not with
Milan's point deduction, but how the whole mess was dealt with by
all and sundry, and the controversies and insinuations and finger-
pointing surrounding it. Those who can stand my tedious long-winded
messages can find my rant on this issue here:
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/ForzaNesta/message/891.

BTW, October 15 was the 6th birthday of the MODs. No one else still
around here seems to know or care......

So here is a belated happy birthday wish from me.

To be perfectly honest, I am not sure we will see a seventh worth
celebrating.
