Thanks, Honorio. Your comments throughout the game were great.
No, it wasn't the negativity (John's partially right here); it was more or less a combination of getting more enjoyment out of commenting on the lesser-known songs, plus (unfortunately) not really having much time to devote with work getting extremely busy over the summer.
(Yesterday was actually my last day with the company. I start a new job on Wednesday.)

John, thanks again for a great trip.
And Anthony, congrats on the new gig! I can relate, actually--I haven't had as much presence on the forum this summer as I would have liked, either. Somehow it's a little harder to spend the day writing about music and then come home and devote online time to...writing about music.
I'll try to do better. It'll probably do me good to think about the Who and the Stones in the evening when I've gotten good and sick of Cav/Pag and Rigoletto during the day.

I'm anticipating though that beginning Wednesday, my presence here will likely drop off more than it did over the summer. I'll still do my best to contribute to HoA, but I may miss a week here and there. Sorry in advance.

Anthony, sorry for the delay on the replay. Good luck with your new job, it seems that a lot of people of the forum are changing of work now (good luck to Nicolas and schleuse too!). And yes, John and Anthony, fortunately it’s been a game without the bitterness that usually showed up when someone talked about The Beatles in this forum. I was talking about the implicit negativity of having to choose not the songs you like but the songs you don’t like. Anyway, Anthony, I understand your point of view about the interest of the lesser-known songs.
Thanks again, John, it’s been a great game.
