I suspect Ian stays in the bushes for good reason. While it would be great to see him on line, he would likely find himself being overwhelmed, inundated and with a new full time job - the forum.
I might also add that after watching what went on with DenonJeff (their product manager) on the AVS "Guest" forum, the number of questions was overwhelming and he finally gave up. There is also the troll factor to consider - they WILL come out and they tend to be relentless and burn up way too much useless band width. As cynical as this sounds, I would hate to see him get tied up in minutae and be a lighning rod for unneeded attacks.
While I would love to see him here (along wth more of Amie), better judgment on his part will likely prevail.
