Hi squarebear....I understand what you have said. However, I am not thinking of an actual correspondent speaking-up on the matter but others who may have information on someone who is no longer posting For instance, if I were to 'snuff it', an e/mail from the Ed to my address would I think get a reply from my wife Viv.( or some other family member who might check my e/mails)... In fact, I think the Ed has written in the past to regular members who were no longer posting.
Furthermore, if I were no longer interested in AB to take part in correspondence, I might still be 'looking in' and an enquiry about me could meet with a response. I think there are some folk who are still listed as 'Active' although we don't actually hear from them.
Best wishes....Ron
