    My gosh, is nothing sacred with you guys?

    He's not even "cold", and there's a NEW user with the "Robin" username.

    Heck, even the Cavaliers retired LeBron James' number!!

    Is nothing sacred??

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    I guess this is Just the way of things.

    As I understand IT, BeBerlin has been a resource to this site for some time. For that he has my gratitude. Surely he's role will be filled by someone else in due time. Life goes on and all that..

    I have missed his posts in recent months. I remember reading some his reviews and posts while lurking before joining. That man can write exceptionally well and is a true critic. His Blenheim Bouquet review of Pehaligon's cream was so enticing that I departed with a whole £35, which was the most I had ever spent on a shaving cream!

    A valuable member here and you will be missed. I especially liked his 'how to write a review' that slaughtered over enthusiastic noobs that gave one liners like 'this is the best stuff ever!'

    Robin's stern German response was something like 'So you've only tried one other cream before this? Well good for you, but what authority have you to even attempt to review another? Awesome, a true character.


    While on the subject of characters, some of you may remember Seraphim. Where's he gone? He was a cynical shaver as well.

    I'm not sure how you can classify that as "awesome", but I digress....

    As for Seraphim, if I'm not mistaken he left in a bit of a snit over the whole Gold Dollar thread debacle. Haven't seen him here for a while.

    Every person who joins this site makes a contribution to it whether a member or higher and eventually circumstances change and people depart. We are all thankful for their contributions whether big or small and the site goes on. Does anymore have to be said on the subject?

    See now this is why I find this site refreshing. This isn`t going to degenerate into an argument or slanging match is it? It`s so nice to be a member of a forum full of such gentlemen I`m afraid I`m too new here to comment on Robin as I know nothing about the situation but I just wanted to say that......

    Thanx for the heads up Bruno. I'll miss Robin's input but change is the only constant.

    Stepping down and closing one's account are 2 entirely different things IMHO. I just have this feeling there's more going on than only a difference of opinion on
    certain technical matters.

    Bruno, I am afraid you have not preempted speculation.

    This is the problem of official announcements: their only purpose is to tell the audience what's considered safe for them to know, which is not necessarily the whole truth.
