Ottagal--no pm. When I checked her profile it looked like several friends who are still active, hence this post. I didn't really 'know' her that well. I agree with your description completely. I'll be out of touch for a few weeks, but was afraid I'd forget this.
It's funny, the people who are frequent on the forum when you get started seem like constants, but so many have dropped off. I'm afraid the months of posting difficulties contributed to some of it. I think there was a thread about that why people disappear a few years ago...
Hope YOU are well!
