Matchlock is so silent !

Since the 20th of last month Michael (Matchlock) doesn't log in here.
I have sent him an email just to check how is doing and had no answer.
I hope nothing serious is occurring with him.

I agree Nando! It is definitely unlike Michael to be away this much!!!
Michael, if you're reading please drop us a note OK!

All the best,
Jim

I had a PM from him also on the 20th of last month. I think he's just been busy.

Michael still silent

Anybody know wahat happend with him?

fernando · 25th March 2010, 07:59 PM

Maybe he just wants to be silent ?
He has logged in again on the 27th February ... but not a word.
I would surely prefer that he is too busy or even upset with something in the forum, than being ill or going through some serious problem.

Thank you so much for caring, my friends! It made me blush to see that there is a real community - and real friendship.

I have indeed been having some hard times and just felt that I could not muster the strength and post. I missed you very much though!

Anyway, I have to make a big excuse and ask you all to be patient with me just in case that some preriod of silence might occur again some day.

It feels so good to have you out there, on various continents but all being one in our minds and hearts and souls.

Let's carry on.

Best wishes and my heartfelt thanks,
Michael

Welcome home Michael!!! Its really good to have you back!
I think most of us know what those hard times can be like, and how debilitating they can be, but remember we are kinda like family, at least thats how Ive always felt here, and we do understand.

In any case, as you say, lets carry on!!!

Sure have missed your posts.

All the very best,
Jim
