I have been posting on this board since it first started. I can tell you people come and go. It does get a little old after awhile-same questions etc. I left myself for over a year once and find myself drifting away now. Of course, no one will miss me. At any rate don't be too concerned, it is the natural flow of things on this board. Yes, sometimes someone does die, but mostly they just leave because the board gets tiring!!
