I know exactly what you are trying to say, Catspaw. I've felt the very same about Cuillion and Alistair UK; still wonder about them. And, lamarca, you are right, of course, about not letting the world know, as Joe Offer has pointed out before.

I think 'Spaw's suggetion is a good one; either say your time here will be ltd. or send a personal message to one of us so that we can reassure those who ask, without it being public knowledge.

'Spaw, I think part of what we are feeling is that responsibility we feel comes with being a friend. I know a lot of us feel that towards one another. I am not blaming Night Owl; she is one of teh ebst people I've ever met on here and I know she would've let us know if she'd had a way and was able to overcome the shock and grief this must've caused her sensitive and enlightened soul.

Thanks, again, Paul.
