I know that Kelsee has taken a holiday break from the Spider Resources hub. He'll be back in the New Year or earlier.

With regards to John Defur, I chatted with him via PM about two months back. He's still around but the share prices of the ROF have probably bummed him out (along with the whole world economic scene). I expect that once things heat up we will see him more active.

As far as Cylinder, I can't speak for him. He's up on the Island in Comox, and maybe the extraordinarily cold and snowy weather have cooled his ardor for the Ring of Fire.

As for me, I'm as foolish as ever hanging around dreaming of sugar plums and $1 share prices for SPQ to dance in my head over Christmas time.
