in that case they can switch them off .

Re: All gone quiet
Yes I suppose so. This only started as merely a passing thought Meg.I know not long ago I asked if Alan was alright because his lovely morning photo's had stopped suddenly, and on that occasion, someone replied he was away on holiday and I had apparently missed his post telling us this.
We can't read every post, every day, so I thought maybe someone knew where our other two friends were as well. That's all there was to it.
As I said a while back, no harm was meant, but it's better if I don't enquire about anyone anymore if it's going to cause a rumpus.

the problem is once one person is mentioned by name people then start discussing other absent members (some of whom may be banned) . Then some member will complain that missing members are being discussed even when no names are mentioned

If you'd sent him a PM he wouldn't have answered because he wasn't here!

I've encountered a few nasty pieces of work on internet forums in the past and it has worried me a bit what they could do to me if they tried. One even told me where I lived from clues he'd put together!!
Luckily he didn't come to visit..
