Funny thing, I would guess they spend their time practicing and perfecting their art rather than hanging out in forums. 
Rather than giving up playing, I prefer to enjoy the work of these people and just continue doing what I am doing as long as it is enjoyable.

Yes, Larry is fabulous, both on steel and nylon strings. Funny you should mention Larry, I just bought a Great River mic preamp from him. He's a really nice man as well--and loves animals, which is always a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
