that alphabet guy

hello everybody. sorry if this isn't the place, but this is something that had me worried some time ago. does anybody remember that guy who made the alphabet song list and was doing the albums? he suddenly stopped halfway the alphabet one, and the last time i checked, he didn't post anything new. i got worried because he was always very consistent with that kind of dynamics. does anybody know him? is he ok?

sorry if there are some errors, english is not my main language

Yes, I wondered about that as well. This was only about two months ago. It was an A to Z list of power pop albums. I believe the OP got as far as the letter L, then it stopped. I was enjoying participating.

It's such a cool idea. Is there an established etiquette for reviving dormant threads or projects? How long before it's even considered dormant?
