Where have all the regulars gone?

Is it just me, or have many of the regular mortgage advisors gone quiet recently? I'm thinking of the likes of kingstreet, Dave Ham, etc.
I know they still post from time to time, but not as often as they used to.

Has there been some sort of falling out between MSE and mortgage advisors?

    That's good to know, kingstreet.

    Maybe I just keep missing the threads that you are posting on...

    (By the way, I'm not waiting for mortgage advice or anything, just wondered if anything was up.)

    Thanks for the thoughts and you are correct a pathetic 3.19 posts per day for me....!

    Last 3 months have been manic and between office move, new starters and holidays in the office; I have been super busy.

    Nothing sinister, will always try to help where I can although imagine September onwards the world becomes an easier place..

    All the best

    Glad all's well.
    Hopefully being busy means you are getting lots of business. Might even mean the economy is picking up?

    I've cut back hugely on my posting due to being busier in the office.

    Nothing against MSE at all, and I still read a bit. I just dont have time to check back often to see whos responded to my posts.
