Well hold on, now.

I'll admit that I thought the same thing, although I couldn't think of a polite way to ask it.

The thought was born of concern. I worry about someone I've been interacting with for several years now. As would many of you, I believe. If we care enough to read about an otherwise complete stranger's troubles in life, or their thoughts on politics/finance/video games/child rearing... I want to know what happens if they suddenly disappear.
