> [@Spoons](#): > > Thinking of elderly Dopers, does anybody know about @KlondikeGeoff ? I asked about him a couple of years ago in this thread. Given his age, in his 90s IIRC, I have to assume he has passed. Amazing to live that old when he mentioned how much he smoked for so long. ---

Thanks, @Ike_Witt . I knew that he was quite elderly, and I had a feeling that he had passed. Although we have no definite proof, I think it’s a safe assumption. I always enjoyed his contributions. ---

This bump is a little bit off topic. Way back in the early 2000s, we had a poster named **jinwicked**. She was early 20s, witty and fun and from Texas. She also wrote and illustrated an online web comic. She dressed in what to me looked like steampunk fashions. Anyway, I was in the yard digging some holes, my mind wandering as usual, when the user name popped up in my mind somehow. It stuck in my mind so last night I looked her up. You can read about Jen Bateman [here](https://jcb8mn.com/blog/category/general/). It’s quite a story and they are still a good writer. They also look almost identical to twenty years ago. It’s about a five minute read and you can follow some links from there. They are also on Facebook. It’s good to find out that things are working out for them. Autism, mental issues, gender issues all seem to be falling into place. As they sum it up: > My name is Jen Bateman. I am a sentient being; 42 years-old, genderless, an autobiographer. After a lifelong journey and thousands of hard-won lessons, my body, heart, goals, mind, and spirit are at last in alignment with one another. I am in touch with my _tathāgata-garbha_ — or Buddha nature. My nirvana. ---

No, I didn’t. Actually there were two migrations. The 2nd was Real Life. Things are settling down a bit, so … ---

I’ve worried about Kobal2. My understanding is that they posted from Paris. Last post was April, 2020, when the first wave of Covid was hitting France hard. 🙁 ---

Wait, @Shodan got banned? All I remember was a quite amusing and inexplicable kerfuffle \* I call band name \* about his “Regards.” (Of course I’ve been gone from the popcorn bleachers of ATMB for a long time.) PS: Do people still call band name around here? ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > @Snowboarder_Bo had been suspended for a short time for an altercation with a mod and I haven’t seen him since. I hope he returns, I love his contributions and anecdotes in musical threads. I was just thinking today that I hadn’t seen **Snowboarder\_Bo** post in a while. I didn’t realize he was suspended back in January, but I guess that would explain it. ---
