@Oredigger77 hasn’t posted for about two years. I always thought they contributed to the discussions. ---

Always assuming the worst (especially for a prolific every-day’er) when their “seen” and “last post” dates match up, as is the case with **@XT** (Agnatheist) (Mar. 22/22). ---

@not_what_you_d_expect Thanks for thinking of us! We are doing well. I lurk from time to time, but always come around to participate in the Secret Santa, because it’s like, my favorite thing. ---

Saw @Boyo_Jim in an old thread just now-he was posting regularly thru July '17, came back in early Oct. of that year for 2 quick posts, and that was that. ---

I miss her too. She was an environmental scientist, artist. A bit quirky and respected as a member here iirc. And afaict she’s done with this place, for good reason too. ---

She was upset that transphobia wasn’t welcomed. She was a great poster other than that, but I don’t miss that aspect being gone from the board. ---

Nope, that was **YWTF** her sister. @monstro was not banned at all. She doesn’t even have a warning. But she chose to leave when her sister got thread banned. I always liked @monstro, I’m sorry she’s gone, but it was not via a warning or banning. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Saw @Boyo_Jim in an old thread just now I’ve been on the watch for him for half a decade. Years ago, he mentioned that he taught the occasional evening class at the college I teach at. So if I was around at night, I’d peek into classrooms, hoping to catch a glimpse. One semester, there was a Tuesday evening class with a teacher who… looked just like him! (He was well-known after he won the Bulwer-Lytton Prize). I got excited, and decided I’d casually ask “So, do you still travel with a favorite pillow and a favorite parrot?” Took me a while, but I managed to catch the class on a break. The instructor was answering some questions, but I quizzed a student who was leaving the classroom. Nope, that teacher had a completely different name. After months of planning my “Come back, Prodigal Poster!” plea, I was crushed… ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > @Sherrerd hasn’t been around for nearly 3 months. I miss her in P&E threads and around the board. Thank you for this, Aspenglow–it means a lot. My last post seems to have been June 22; I finally went to the hospital July 19 with a hemoglobin count of 4.3. (Normal for an adult starts at 11.) I had been so weak for weeks that I just couldn’t get to the computer (I don’t have a smart phone and do my 'puter stuff on a desktop.) Week in the hospital included surgery to remove tumors and the diagnosis of Stage 3 endometrial cancer. Chemo has been going on for a while and I’ve regained the strength (and ability to sit without pain!) needed for re-starting some of my favorite internet occupations, very much including The Dope! At this point no one has given me a prognosis. I’m sure they’re waiting to see what the chemo accomplishes. After that, both radiation and surgery have been mentioned as possibilities. So, in short: I’m very happy to be able to sit here and enjoy the wonderful people of this site and their amazing posts–and I’ll do so as long as I have that option. Long live the Straight Dope Message Board! 👍 ---
