Hate to say it, but the trend is clear - unless you want to leave behind puzzled friends for years, you should have some instructions in your will to notify the social media sites you're active on to post a message about you're passing, as well as your email contacts.
A friend of mine in Alabama passed away a couple of years ago over Labor Day weekend, and I didn't find out until Breeder's Cup, through a mutual friend on my "horse racing" email list. He was active on a couple of online forums though, and the outpouring of grief and condolences for one was quite moving (Allman Brothers Band forum).
The alternative is to speculate, the way we do about whales....

Couldn't find anything from toetoe since 2012. Also, Chickenhead must have flown the coop.
Not trying to push anyone back onto social media if they are busy or temporarily/permanently fed up. I'm even thinking of banishing myself from all social media for a while - I get too upset and fed up with everything, and the stupidity of the masses, while also realizing that ignorance might just be bliss after all.

Chickenhead has come out of his shell now and again, I think.
I think he was more into the funny/stupid/ridiculous things that we all share in common type off-topic threads rather than the mundane things that make us allegedly different (very, very, very different, allegedly) type threads that seem more the norm these days.

One guy I miss is Jay Trotter. I just checked and he hasn't posted since last August.
Hope all is well with this Royal Canadian.

Chickie is a very smart guy and I enjoyed some of his insights. Two of the best handicappers that have not been seen recently are Rook and Richie P. I told Rook once that I admired his intensity as it reminded me of myself as a young man.

CJ is still recovering from a procedure on his eyes. I checked in with him over the weekend. All is well.

Yes. He was a great contributor to the management of several contests on this board.
Also, Jay offered very level headed advice in the political off topics threads from time to time.

Jay hates my guts because he thinks I'm a right-wing jackbooted thug.
I hope that clears at least this MIA up...

And even if you are a right-wing jackbooted thug, you are still a nice guy and quite likable

I don't know...anything even remotely right of Al Franken is considered a right-wing jackbooted thug these days, so you tell me.
