I needed you! I had to get your addy from _strangers_! But youā€™re back now, and thatā€™s all that matters. An explanation, and apology, would be nice, though. šŸ™‚ ---

I made a reference to you in one of my [threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49959)but you never responded. I thought maybe you were deadā€¦so I cried. Iā€™m glad to see now that you were just gone. You know, you scared the hell out of me. I figured that youā€™d at least have the decency to call and let me know where you were gonna be. I mean I stayed up all night worrying. I should sue your ass for punitive damages. šŸ˜‰
