They're not missing as such - both still lurk and occasionally respond,
but I think pressure of other commitments limits their activities.

Anyway - I'd like to thank Scott Mockry and Orin Eman in particular
for what they've done for me and helped me to do this year.  Other
than what has come from them, I'm not aware of _ANY_ resource that
properly explains how the MB engine is controlled.  After railing for
_years_ about the paucity of Audi's own documentation and the utter
lack of anything from Bentley, Haynes, etc., it was very refreshing
to find a couple of guys who could take my ECU apart, disassemble the
code, comment it apparently overnight and send it back as a Word
document.  Some of the comments you just _have_ to read - "The engine
isn't officially running yet" being a classic that sticks in my mind.

Orin's WGFV diagnosis LED has been used on perhaps a dozen UK cars,
and has helped many people understand what's going on - not least me.
Scott has been invaluable in diagnosing some very strange ECU problems.
