G'day G'day Folks,

Hopefully this will be the shortest thread in ASD history.  
In fact it would be more than OK if no-one replied.  

It is one of those situations where a word too many is too much.

This post is an open letter to Guy.  
He may if he wishes reply to me privately.  That would be fine.  

While reading your posts in recent times I've had a deep sense that
you are missing some of your old friends and acquaintances here,
grieving in fact.   There was a time when a few doctors made posts
here. You liked their posts.  It could be that their status gave what
they had to say a sense of legitimacy.  It could be that they were
simply well written and that appealed to you or that they treated you
with respect and you felt a strong sense of kinship with them.  You
must miss that.

Many of your friends in the real world have been less lucky than
yourself, though you have suffered much, and are now dead.
You've remarked on the funerals you've attended.  

What I'd like to do is offer you some sort of emotional support if
that is what you need right now, so you can move on when you're ready,
though I'm uncertain how best to do it.  

IMHO asd is for offering support to one another as best we can. People
have been generous in offering such support to me when I've needed it.
I'm thankful that they knew they could and were forthcoming. In that
respect I know I'm not alone. We all give and accept.  

Best wishes,
