I was just about to post the same question.

Anybody know the answer?

I had noticed but I just thought I hadn't looked at the same threads but that it was unusual. His name usually pops up frequently with his excellent advice.
Hope you are OK Eric and perhaps have escaped the snow to find the sun for a while!

I had noticed yesterday that he was missing. Hoping he's having a winter holiday in the sun.

Sheesh, I made the announcement a few days in Sherwood Forest.

Ericthered has departed these parts.

His membership expired a few days ago, and he didn't renew. I invited him to the forest for a swan song, but he may already have been expired.

He sent well wishes in our work. To me, anyhow. ;)

Short but simple. Hm, yes. ;)

Me? I'm special!

I believe he was commiserating about a pest at about the same time, so I must have been uppermost in his mind.

No, I'm special. That's it!

EvieBeavie Report 4 Feb 2009 23:16

Did I say "pest"?

Tsk. I must have meant "post".

I should mention that of course I begged him not to go, but evidently to no avail.

He'll still be able to send and receive PMs through the GR system though, should anyone wish to, er, pester him. ;)

Hi evie


thank you

we're in a waiting pattern ........ only days left methinks, and not much that anyone can do except keep her comfortable until the end. Most of her family are still in the UK
