A lot of speculation here about littletune? Or j_menz?

- - Here is mine:
little tune : pubertal-teen and always considerate, respectful in her posts. Excellent translator of Croatian to English, who got paid for it (sometimes), lived in an apartment with family and had intermittent trouble with neighbor who likely despised her playing during practice. She also seemed to give the impression that her dad was not that happy with time spent on the piano. She was often posting how she wished they could afford to transfer to a place of their own to give her more leeway in her piano practice without her neighbor breathing down on her neck.
My SPECULATION: She got fed up with so many complaints from neighbors that she gave up on the piano or their neighborhood association got a court injunction preventing her from playing or her dad decided to sell their piano to pacify the neighbors or she started to earn a lot from her translating which also consumed all her free time.

j_menz a lawyer? .... could not have guessed from his posts, but I am almost sure rach4ever and j_menz are not the same person. For those who have been here for years you will have noticed the stark differences in their writing styles. One was teenish and the other was definitely adult. They just had very different writing styles.
rach4ever is now a junior in music school and likely has found the love of his life. He spends 101% of his time (i am sure he has gotten over Valentina Lisitsa) over them, which explains why he no longer posts.
J_menz - like what Ted suggested - he came and left like many. But I have this feeling he will come back ... like so many of us who had "left" before.
