Since rejoining I've noticed the absence of Emmanuela. Is she gone? And whatever became of the Israeli woman who was here for a while? And I haven't seen Ted Remington. Where are these folks? Am I just looking in the wrong places?

Hey Geoff! Howya doin'?  The interesting thing about this question is that the people who can give you the real answers about where they are and what's happened to them, are the very ones you're searching for. For any of the rest of us, it's kinda like passing on "heresay" information. I know I've seen some of these people around, but I'm not sure how long ago it was. I definitely don't know why someone else may not be around any more. You could always try PMing them? It's nice that you're concerned about them.
Happy hunting, Geoff!

Emanuela's not gone - I've heard from her in PM recently. I'm guessing that either she mostly reads and doesn't post often, or else is too busy to read every single message (unlike some of us addicts!), but she is definitely still around. No worries! (Maybe she will answer your post herself, too.)

I am here!
I am almost every day here, even if I don't post a lot
Glad that you noticed this!

Geoff, what a sweetie you are. Well, your post has found one of are absentee friends....hi emanuela I do know Ted is still around. I may be misremembering but I think he is very busy planning a wedding (not his) so that may take up some of his time. I know we all go through periods where we have so much on our plate out of the Board that we don't always have time to peek in. Not even for our messages. i went through about 6 months of that. I'm telling you, I was in withdrawal. Unfortunately though, you'll find that some people will wander in for a while and then wander off again. If you look in Main index you'll see we have 3086 registered members. There are maybe 50 of us that pop in so there are some 3000 that have come and gone. Like Shona (Fishonabike) who was a prolific poster at one point - I miss him. And Geoff, everybody is welcome. It is a good idea to speak to the person yourself, anything else is just conjecture, and retold stories of retold stories. My Mom always compared it to that kiddy game - "telepone line" where a slew of kids would line up in a row one beside each other, one person would whisper something in a kid's ear at one end of the line and by the time it got to the other end it was so far away from the original it was laughable. And speaking of absentee souls...I'm glad *you're* back

However, I heard from PM's that, well, let us say she wasn't very welcomed and leave it at that.
As someone who had e-mailed her directly and often, and was in touch with her on many different *fronts, I refuse to "leave it at that" when *that is incorrect. ewein, whomever PM'd you was misinformed and leaving *it at *that promotes a misrepresentation.
She was welcomed for all the same reasons everyone else is welcomed. She stopped posting cause she got a new job and the situation where she was (Jerusalem, ISRAEL) had become quite frightening for her (and has since gotten worse).
There would be a large void if emanuela left us, just as there was when Soshanna left.
I wanna know what happened to Marty!
... and where's Waldo?

It's true eh, I think we all have people whom we were fond of who have faded away. I think I'll write Shona a little note to see how he's doing and see if he can drop in.
Salut

Marty, that rat, has actually let real life intervene...stales' and my wiles notwithstanding. I think Father Steve has, too.
