* This is a note not related to the topic of this thread. It’s a note to a member with whom I communicated for years, a member who had her thread deleted yesterday. Because the thread has been deleted, I have no way to message her. Therefore, in case you are reading this, z., here is my message:

I was out and about yesterday, so I wasn’t able to read your emotional messages. If I did, I would have answered immediately. When I was finally back to the computer, your messages were still there (at that point, you deactivated your account, and appeared as anonymous). Having read your messages, I prepared a reply to you. When I clicked “submit”, it didn’t go through because your thread was deleted while I was typing my reply.

z, if you are reading this, please know that I did not ignore you, or your distress. I wasn’t here, at the computer, couldn’t have known about it, and did not anticipate it. If you would like to return to the forums (using a different account than the one you deactivated), please do. I will be delighted to read from you again.
