Maybe the longer bandsters are out living their lives now?
ha! :-) I will be banned in a year and I came to this thread to see what longtime bandsters have to say. Their absence says, 'Get the band because you will be havign so much fun living your life you will not sit on ur butt in front of you computer ever again!"
SO yes, your absence is a wonderful thing (although I would love to hear more from people who have been banded for more thn 2-3 yrs!!).
