If, as Anonymous_no_More suggested, JL "saw all this silliness and lost the desire", he still owes his members the courtesy of an explanation. Concern over the well-being of members who are wholly dependent on a forum for their outside contact is hardly silliness!

A little communication and honesty go a long way.

The "silliness" is not aimed at those that expressed their feelings of loss of support, rather, the offering of all kinds of "reasons/innuendo" for the "whys" of JL's inability to communicate.

Again, as I stated before, no one can make anyone else "do the right thing" or "want to do the right thing". That we are not experiencing the "desired state" is a given.

Rather than lament what we cannot control, take action on those things that we can...

Getting support here, is a great start. Waiting for JL to either "dig out" and communicate (as he has clearly, deeply hurt so many) is perhaps not worth the emotional effort. But, that is just my own POV...and usually not one agreed with or upon...
