To her credit, she doesn’t seem to be nearly as exasperating in this incarnation as in her last. ---

I’m wondering about **Imthecowgodmoo**. We scared him up a while back, and he graced us with his presence long enough to let us know he was going to be even _more_ scarce in the future. I wonder if he ever checks the boards? ---

My Dope time is pretty limited, so I haven’t bothered to search. I’m glad this thread came along! \*\* **Legomancer** was kind enough to start a thread announcing he had moved here to Mass. earlier this month: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202227](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202227) I imagine the guy is ok, just busy with a new house, new job, new neighborhood. ---

After Season 2 of 24, **KneadToKnow** said something about not being able to be online as much. I forget the reason, but I think it was something like moving or changing jobs, nothing bad. But don’t quote me on anything. **Demo** (also known as democritus90) is alive and well, and has migrated to LiveJournal, which I suspect has happened to quite a few people, as the SDMB grows and feels like less of a community.\* I asked about **oldscratch** at the recent BADfest, and he’s doing OK. Maybe when **SmileyDeath** joined, him and **ChiefScott** spontaneously combusted each other. \*-My thoughts, not Demo’s. ---

I still lurk around a bit. Mostly reading GQ when I have time and occasionally popping into MPSIMS. These days I spend most of my time over at [Livejournal](http://www.livejournal.com) (as Democritus (my old screen name here, btw)). If Cecil ever gets those hamsters running a little faster I’d like to spend more time here though. 😉 ---

Remember MaryAnn? I could swear that was her name. She had the sig line: “Sometimes you’ve got to muss up your hair and quack like a duck”. I think of her sometimes- I’ve not seen her in years (unless we just miss each other) ---

I wish **NeuroTrashGrrrl** was still posting, the pit is a pale shadow of what it once was with her gone. She’s the best flamer ever to inhabit the pit. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by whuckfistle \* > **Makes you wonder… How would the rest of us know if a poster died? Unless they were connected to other posters via other means.** The only instance I recall of this happening was last year, when **poohpah chalupa** passed away suddenly, and **Scotticher** posted a thread about it. It was a sticky for a while: [We Have Lost A Friend](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=147170&highlight=poopa%2A) Anyway, if I suddenly passed away, my little brother is an occasional Doper, though I don’t think I’ve seen him on here since his “Ask the theme park character” thread; he’s busy with school. But he’d post it on here, I’m sure. And everyone would say, “Who? **jackelope**? Is that that guy that… wait, no, that was **jackmanii**. Let’s see, there’s **Jack Batty** , **jack@ss** , **jacksen9** , **Jackknifed Juggernaut** … Nope, **jackelope** doesn’t ring a bell…” ---
