It's really sad to see the experience of Lanky and Twocatsam go from the board. I do not know what happened behind curtains but all in all it's a big loss for VLS fraternity. They were good source of first hand experience (along with Winkel) and were great teachers. I miss you all. :(

Crappy news indeed.
...Lanky and I made peaces before he left the forum. We still keep in touch via email.
I'm sure if you want to keep it touch with him, he won't oppose.
