Outside of the MMP? Probably not. I don’t post that much in other areas, and I don’t think I’m controversial. Well, I try not to be. I’ve never been pitted (I think), so I guess I’m not. ---

I’ve had long spells when I read, but didn’t post, and I never saw any “where is he?” posts, so probably not. Enjoy, Steven ---

Just so no one wonders, I’ll not be posting for a couple of weeks. We’re flying up to China on Monday. In case anyone misses me. ---

Of course they would miss me. I was last year’s SDMB “He Hate Me” keeper fantasy football league champion. _crickets_ I think someone might ask, but I don’t post often enough to be missed by many. OTOH I wonder where **faithfool** has gone to? ---

[QUOTE=Mtgman] I’ve had long spells when I read, but didn’t post, and I never saw any “where is he?” posts, so probably not. [/QUOTE] I would miss you, but I must say you need to post more about Magic the Gathering! Personally, I’m always curious if you’re a celebrity player, like Zvi or what’s his name. ---

Would people miss me? Hmmmmm… I would like to think so, but I dunno. IRL people have always said I make a big impression, but unfortunately it’s been about 50-50 over the years whether that’s good or bad. :dubious: I do post quite a lot and umm… rather descriptively :smack: , so I do feel that a few people would notice my absence, especially with the Japanese-speakers and the Orlando dopers. Dopefest tomorrow baby! ---

I would say the odds are high that people would notice if you stopped posting. (I would miss you though, I like your stories) ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] Would people miss me? [/QUOTE] I would miss you - I think yer hilarious. I also noticed when **NoClueBoy** stoped posting for a while there and was wondering. However, now he’s back. FWIW, I also miss **UrbanChick** however an e-mail exchange with her reveals that she’s doing well, and is just really busy. ---

Eh, I’ve been around awhile so I guess it might cross some people’s minds, at some point, eventually. In the MMP, though, sure! (At least I’d _hope_.) ---

I don’t think anyone would notice, no. I don’t get into arguments with people, the threads I start are pretty plain-vanilla, and I’ve been so promptly shat upon every time I try to say something interesting that I’ve basically given up on it. I hang around to read, mostly, and because I get good information in my plain-vanilla threads. ---
