You missed a legend, bro.  I think both sum_off and Galt and many others (Haddock, Ashu, etc.) have moved on/graduated from here as a paradigm shift has now occured ala the torch handed down.  Though they're quietly observing all thats going on here, I doubt that they would be active in the same manner they were in the past.  Who knows, the Samsara too may one day disappear never to reveal himself on sajha again.  This is how it is: The old lion makes way for the new one.  Though I really miss the intellectual threads on sajha, I feel that the budding stars of the younger sajhaites are gonna come out into the open soon...and in time, they too will disapper into oblivion.  Thats the fact of life and sajha and its frutiless even attempting to change that trend. 

All the best to these Sajha legends whereever they may be!
