I don’t begrudge people for moving on, but if they’re nice people whose posts add value it’s good to know they’re okay and haven’t stopped posting for unpleasant reasons. (The petulant flouncers, OTOH, still don’t need to tell us they’re going.) ---

I’ve noticed a few people who haven’t posted for a while :- @Crane @TruePisces Hope they’re ok.. ---

@TruePisces has come and gone several times. Her life (as narrated intermittently in the MMP) contains a lot of challenges and obligations. I’d sooner bet she’s too busy to hang out here than some other worse interpretation. @Crane is quite old, roughly 90. I hope they’re well. ---

This thread is depressing, but I’m glad this message board is still around. Stay well y’all. ---

I’m thinking that we haven’t heard from @Northern_Piper in a while, and a look shows that he last posted on February 9. Hope that he’s just on an extended vacation. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Last I’d heard, he’d headed for greener pastures on the Giraffe board last December. If memory serves, he was becoming frustrated with moderation over the last year or two in which he was active here, and was feeling picked on – to the point that he changed his avatar to a picture of the little character being crucified.
