Showing Original Post only (View all)Is there a DUer who just disappeared that you miss? [View all]
Today, two longtime members announced that they are stepping away, and this has led to some discussion about the so-called "GBCW" threads. Some have suggested that the threads serve, if nothing else, the purpose of letting DUers know that the poster has left the group, and relieves any anxiety over whether they are sick or dead. OTOH, some DUers have just fallen away. "Prosense" is a name that came up in another thread. I'm sure there are others.
If you are wondering where a DUer went, post the name here. Perhaps some posters know "...the rest of the story." Perhaps others are as mystified as you are.
