Has Rebo gone missing? It looks like she hasn’t been around for more than a year, but I never know if I’ve searched properly. ---

She’s been posting in the Wordle threads at least. ---

> [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > It looks like she hasn’t been around for more than a year, but I never know if I’ve searched properly. From the hamburger menu, click [Users]. Enter the name you’re seeking into the “filter by username” box at the upper right. Done. That will show their (and your) activity in the last week. In her case that’s that she’s been here all 7 days, looked at 7 topics, posted 27 replies, and read a lot of posts. If you tap/click her icon you can see she last posted yesterday. So I suppose the qualitative message in those numbers is that she’s here lots, but is only visible in a tiny number of threads. If you’re not in any of those threads, you’ll think she’s absent. ---

I’m here! I read a ton but don’t post much, I guess. I’m mostly in the Wordle thread and in the politics threads. ---

No, I really did search and it looked like she hadn’t been here to me. As I said, I’m very happy to know I was just wrong. I obviously need to figure out what I’m doing wrong when I search. I’ll follow the instructions provided by LSL above next time. ---

He got offended it seems by the feedback he got on the Kabballa thread. ---

IIRC he’s flounced in a huff more than once over the years. More charitably, he also has a rather difficult IRL where stuff can get legitimately overwhelming for him at times. ---

I think it’s healthy to take a break if you’ve gotten frustrated - heck, I sometimes do it with IRL friends who’ve pissed me off (sometimes with cause, sometimes because I’m being overly frustrated for semi-irrational reasons), much less online irritants. I have have far fewer complications in my lifethan @DocCathode - of course not _zero_ but less. I hope he has a chance to relax, put aside or deal [see ETA] as much as possible with the _unavoidable_ stresses, and then has the time to come back to our stresses! Take the time you need Doc, and drop back in when you’re ready. ETA - my stupid fat fingers had the world death instead of deal. I’ve corrected it (thanks to Aspenglow below) since it’s still in the edit window, but you may still point and laugh.] ---

🤦 Deal, DEAL stupid fingers! Not DEATH. What a freaking fumble. I’m still within the edit window, so I’ll go and correct. But I’ll leave this mention and an ETA to acknowledge my endless shame and failure. And to keep @Aspenglow’s fully justified correction relevant. ---
