No one knows whats going on with her. Maybe she wanted to pop in say hi and wish you all a happy holiday season or something.

I might be able to find out.

She has popped into chat once or twice
I'll ask her for an update on the sly.

Please do.
Ask her how she is I mean. I'd love to have an update. I do miss her, she was such a gentle person.

NO! The user has a control panel option of being "Invisible" and not showing up on the "Currently Active Users" list and "Last Activity" record. This is a user who WANTS to be noticed without interacting knowing full well that revealing a presence here is likely to generate discussion and probing. It's a diagnostic endeavor to elicit our feelings, after the passage of time and attrition, without the user ever having to actually ask us and it's being pulled off by someone already known to be smart enough and have an evasive character. If you need to put a label on the community's response to being used like this, you can call it counter-lurking.

It isn't stalking, but it is kinda blowing her cover if she is trying to slip back for a discrete reconnaissance.

Really? wow. Sounds like you'd be happy not to see here here again sexobon.

I personally didn't attribute anything more to it than that perhaps someone had pm'd her and she came to respond to it or something.

It's been a while since all the stuff went down. I just thought that she might have worked through it with BR and that they might both have felt it would be ok.

Clearly, some people are not very forgiving.

On the contrary, I be happy to see a return (without the dirty laundry) just as I was happy to see Mari leave and I was happy to see Sam arrive.

Gee, I wonder where you got that idea?

Then why no posts from either of them? They don't need our permission.

Really, it's not your forte.

WTF is your problem?

What did I ever do to you to deserve this hostility?

Do you think that just because you suggest something you're the only one that might have a thought ie
