I think Bryan has just been really busy, but this is only a guess...
He posted last about a week ago ( on the 22nd ) and liked morri's post on the 24th... Then I placed an order on Thursday evening ( late ) and he had it in the mail by Friday which has to be the quickest I've seen on any of my orders... normally they were taking about 2 business days ( which is understandable considering they are custom mixed each time )...
Still... I have to admit I miss seeing his posts and have also felt the thread was a tad quiet... Ultimately, I guess we can only blame ourselves for that part ( I blamed El previously for other digressions, so she gets a pass on this one... lol )
