edit: for me, that is.

If I die, I have already arranged that my brother take all my records, CDs, cassettes, books, and movies and do what he will with them. He would also be in charge of my money and stocks. Also, he would be the person to let Maani or M@x know that I have died. Not likely; but you can never be too careful.

Maybe she's making some arrangements, be careful, watch out in the near future, especially when she's handling with knives 
 
Seriously;
I think you can hardly find any reasons for someone not posting anymore unless you have more information than the usual nickname and email...but if you have more informations like an adress or phone number, you would surely use these information after some time...

Well we do not/can not know the true personal circumstances of any forum member.Some posts hint that all is not necessarilly well behind the cheery facades.

Sometimes it can be sooooooo difficult to open up.....

I am so mad at myself for not pushing him a little harder for info.  And I truly miss his friendship.

I wouldn't write -- I'd rideout there just to make good and sure you were actually dead, ol' boy!Stern Smile

Can't have you suffering like that....Wink

ErmmSeriously, I've often pondered that scenario -- think of all the folks on here with only pseudonyms, and no partners -- we'd likely never know. Hopefully, my wife would tell you. (Course, there would be an obit, and you know my real name.) No "Rideout 3000" writing robot would come to the rescue that dull day....Unhappy

 

 

 

 

Bwaaaaaaa!Cry

Change the topic, Down-boy!

A few peeps have my address, but would one really take the time to write and ask, "where are you?"

 

 I would write if you were gone for a while.

I wouldn't want to know.

As long as people consider you to be alive, your still alive in their thoughts. By not letting people know your dead, you can live forever

My wife asked me an interesting question yesterday.

She asked, "How would I let your Prog-Nerd friends know if you die?"

I was at once both shocked and touched. Interesting question on a few levels...

First, the tought of my mortality. Second, I talk about you guys enough to make her appreciate my fondness for this forum and the friends I've made. Curious...

How many days would it take for someone to become curious?

A few peeps have my address, but would one really take the time to write and ask, "where are you?"

One should never drink beer and post. I seem to get maudlin and sappy, but more thought went into this thread then the Troll Thread.
