I've really been concerned too...
I hope we hear something soon...
I lost touch with a very good friend years ago from another board... it is quite sad. Just disappeared. I urge you all to make information about your participation here available to another person in your household so if anything happens and you can't come to the boards, someone else can let us know what is going on and tell us if there is anything we can do to help.
I do have a cute story though! A friend on another board, who used to post as Pearl was stricken with menengitis. Don't worry... he is okay now. But he gave instructions to his mother to contact us and let us know what was going on.
So get this... I receive an e-mail from.... "Mother of Pearl" *giggles*
