I fear that a number of former AD authors have left us without notification here. Thank you for informing me. At some point in the past, both you and Doc Harding cut me out of your list of favorites, probably because I was critical of your writing at some point or another. That's okay. I'm still concerned about the quality of writing displayed here, but realize that AD is more of a social network then than a serious writers' collaboration.

Harding seemed to have had some "axes to grind" and this forum allowed him to do that.

As time marches on, I hope that when someone dies that there will be a way that everyone will be notified like reading an obituary in the local newspaper. That may not be possible if the only one contacting the site is the author and his or her loved ones to not know how to enter and make the announcement.

The essence of loss and you've captured it.
