[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 174181, member: 1991"] Some people take a break when things are going well. Some people take a break because life is just too hectic. I've known some people to post a great deal in a very short time and then just drop out entirely once they've got it out of their systems. Some people only post when they have a big problem, so I guess for them no news is good news. I must admit, I don't often begin a thread about a problem, either - I tend to respond to other people and I get a lot out of that, for me. I remember in the lead-up to Katrina there was a member we had who was posting about their preparations and what was happening. All the things she was worrying about, her animals, their home, her husband (who wanted to take his family out, but was not permitted to leave, by his boss) - we've not heard from her since and I've never forgotten. I still wonder how they are, where they are. I hope they're doing OK - after what they must have gone through, a lot of the problems we talk about here must have seemed so insignificant.
