I don't think we scared anybody off;it's not like this is some smoky snooker room and all the dudes with long beards and broken brown yellow teeth smoking fat cigars and downing gin or whateva are closing in around you or something.They do this on a computer from the comfort of their homes,probably with their husbands/boyfriends/lovers whateva with their arms around them,and maybe those hands arent doing anything guitar like:D
Anyway,how long do you think it takes to check all the old threads and stuff.They'll be around,that's my bet.
