ralph124c’s particular posting style always tended to engage my attention (and emotions), but it was only today while perusing a zombie thread with a post from him in it that I’d noted I hadn’t seen any posts from him for a while.
Indeed, a little sleuthing turned up the fact that he hasn’t posted or been on the board since January 2014! 
A further cursory search on my part didn’t turn up any enlightening mention of him recently.
I figure I’d query here before sending an email. Anybody know?
I think I criticized his typing one too many times…
And so say we all, among other things.
I heard he got the contract to build the ski lift up Everest. That would surely keep him busy.
I’ll note that there is an e-mail address in ralph124c’s profile, in case you want to try that route.
I was wondering the same thing. Hope he’s okay.
I met him at a Boston Dopefest, oh, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. He was a pretty old guy even then.
Well, the user name comes from what is probably Hugo Gernsback’s most famous (and absolutely wretchedly unreadable) story. Not something any young sprog would pick.
How pretty, Randolph Scott pretty?
If that’s the sort of thing you dream about, you’re welcome to do so.
If he’s gone IRL too, he deserves a moment of respect.
I’m sure we all have fond memories of his idiosyncratic posting style. Cool your jets and let Qagdop’s thread run it’s course.
I met him back then too, or maybe a different Dopefest. Was that the one at Durgin Park?
Yes - but I can’t picture you. Sorry. 
The direct email icon returns that he doesn’t wish to receive emails. I did try sending one to the address listed but it came back as undeliverable.
Was it something we said?
That, or death are the most likely possibilities, in my mind.
I hope he’s OK too…
It seems hard to believe that it has been a year since he posted…
You underestimate the demonic power of ralph124c.
E-mails or incantations are liable to stimulate ralph124c to rip free of his moorings and prowl the streets in search of fresh prey.
