excuse me for injecting an indication that i am a human with emotions after years of involvement in some largely anonymous online communities i am very aware that people can stop contributing for any number of reasons but i've also had several experiences in which online friends suddenly stopped contributing and i later learned a tragic reason why they stopped i've had terriersfan's talk page on my watchlist for a long time so i noticed today's activity on that page i don't know why terriersfan hasn't been here recently but i can't help being concerned as i said regardless of the reasons for the lack of contributions i doubt you will get a response
