Bridget, To me, my friends on Ihub are as important to me as some of my neighbors. In fact, some are more important. Also to me, it's as if a neighbor moves in the middle of the night or while I'm at work without letting anyone know where they are going or why. The only way I would ever leave Ihub without telling someone why is if I died suddenly. And that is the reason we are so concerned about the people that go MIA. People are still wondering where Colt went, and why. I exchanged a few PMs about him last week. It just seems that it would not be too much trouble to leave a parting post if people are going to be gone for an extended period of time. Maybe I just expect too much of my neighbors. Phil
