I enjoy this forum but it's a little like communicating with someone on the outer fringes of the Solar System - you post a message and, if you're lucky, get a response several weeks later.

You must appreciate that this forum has a comparatively small membership compared to, say, GMG and and an even smaller number of "active members". There are those who find the range of topics discussed too narrow. There are those who find the absence of heated debate or rancorous discussion too polite and not lively enough for their needs.
I have posted more than anyone else on here but (a) I had a serious illness three months ago and am trying to cut down on the time I spend sitting in front of my pc, (b) I have been away from home for a week, and (c) our own musical tastes and views are so akin, Jeffrey, that repeatedly posting "I agree" would be unedifying
Many of my posts get little if any response but that is just something one has to accept
