Mods: I know speculating publicly about a user’s relationship with the Board is frowned upon, but this case seems like a reasonable exception. If not I’m sure I’ll hear about it.  
A few months ago some folks noticed that \*\*Ralph124c \*\*hadn’t been seen since Jan 2014. Several people nervously speculated on his health and wished him well _in absentia_. I happened to check his profile for any recent action just a couple of weeks ago and found none.

A few days ago **NewRalph124c** appeared on the scene.

Today I see posts which a few days ago had been attributed to \*\*NewRalph124c \*\*are now attributed to **Ralph124c**. I conclude the original \*\*Ralph124c \*\*is back.

Welcome back!! We missed you. We’re glad you’re healthy. Or at least I’m glad. Others will have to speak for themselves.

He now carries the title **Registered User**. Not sure I wanna know what he’s been up to during his absence if he has to register.😕

**Moderator Note**

As some of you have noticed, we’re having a few problems with **Ralph124c** ’s account. We hope to have it all sorted out soon.

He has not done anything wrong.

Since he is currently unable to post and therefore can’t reply to anything said here, i am going to close this.

Thread closed.
