Is the "Guinevere" of which you speak the same "Boston Barrister" and small town Trustee that I know?
If so, I'm not surprised she left the group. Among other things she has been fairly busy with her law school alumni association activities. And with the increasing speculative talks of a Hillary Clinton resurgence as a 2012 presidential contender, she has been involved in a bit of a 'grassroots' movement feeling those waters.
Nonetheless, if she felt slighted by any forum conversation it's not surprising that she broke so cleanly from this group. I wouldn't expect her to return. She's fairly headstrong that way.

I'm trying to get her to come to a seminar in Atlantic City later this month, so I can work her over. )
You'll post a video of that of course...
Will jello be involved?
If I were a betting man, based on my interaction with her over lo these many years, on board and off (Good Lord, it's been 15 years since the DC Cafe Darte FTF) I'd bet that sooner or later Guin will rejoin our band of aging ill tempered curmudgeons....
Let me know when the odds are set and the window opens. I'll take a piece of that action.
When it comes to Guin's opinion of me, and subsequent "cyber" association with anything I'm connected to, a return to these forums would be highly unlikely. To paraphrase Nick Grindell: "This site ain't Big enough for the both of us..."
So you know, I'm fine with anything Guin has to say but reciprocity would surely be lacking on her part. I think my charisma and charming disposition is apparently offputting to her.
Then again, I could be wrong.

The part I don't understand is why anyone removes their registration. Why not just stop posting?
The temptation to post is over coming?
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is

I could never see why she was so mad at you back at smitty's.
