The wife and I met up with **twickster** and a few other Dopers in Philadelphia when we visited the East Coast seven years ago. Yes, she is a very nice lady. A shame she is missing.

So, two months and no resolution of this disappearance.

**twickster** and I share a birthday, we are exactly the same age. I hope she is OK.

I suspect Bricker just got sick of being trashed - he’s probably just fine. I worry about John Mace. I like that guy. Hope he’s doing well.

I liked John Mace and always looked forward to reading his posts.

This may be a stupid question, but can’t mods do a welfare check via the email address JM signed up with?

I mentioned this thread to twicks and she said hi - she said that after being a mod, she felt burned out. But she’s happy in the non-Dope universe.

What the hell, guys? I’ve taken several long breaks from the boards over the years, and did I ever get an “Is Green Bean Dead” thread? :mad:

In case you do happen to be wondering, I am not dead. Sadly, the same can not be said for[Abe Vigoda](http://isabevigodadead.com).

Not just Abe, I believe Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

I think most people assume something casserole related and are too squeamish to bring it up.

It happens. I’ve been posting here for twenty years and I post pretty much every day.

But there have been a couple of occasions when I “disappeared” for a period of a month or two. And as far as I can tell, nobody noticed.

It keeps me humble.

Weren’t you posting on another board, though? I could have sworn I knew you were still around, just not posting here.

I also notice it takes more than a couple months for people to actually say anything.

We _tried_ to find you, but the threads kept getting shunted off to Cafe Society.

I don’t know where John Mace is, but I can report on two other prolific posters who have been absent for a while. **Wordman** and **lieu** are alive and well, just not posting here.
