Congrats to Ralph, Diane!
Well....I've been reading about missing DISers this morning. We've had quite a few folks stop by the riddle for long stretches and then step away, some from the boards altogether, some just from the riddle.
There is absolutely no way that we can know what goes on behind the glass for all of our friends here. Sometimes real life just accelerates so much that the time spent DISing just disappears. Sometimes we may have our feelings hurt and have to reconsider what it is we're looking for out of this place and what it is we're looking to put in to this place. Sometimes we might just get a little weary and decide it's time to take a little break.
Knowing that there are REAL people behind these fun names and avatars, I can only say that I'm always delighted to hear from folks when they have the time and inclination to post here on the DIS, the CB and the riddle. When they don't, I miss them - but I understand, and I hope they find their way back. If they don't, well I will miss them, but I'm really thankful for the fun and friendship that they've invested in this place. They've made me smile and smiled with me and even if that lasted only a moment, I can't help but think that it's made us both a little happier.
Cheesh - is that too serious, or what????
