I know AZ doesn't wanna throw monkey wrenches into gears before a big event. There are more than a few obvious reasons why that I can think of... I take it as a positive sign that AZ isn't posting lately. He reminded everybody to make sure their brokerage accounts were current, which is actually the only important thing anyone can really do for themselves anymore. There's no point in getting caught in the repetitive whirlpool that is called a message board.
Other than that, I trust he is in good health and enjoying the benefits of his bond repayments!
