I have a question, how was you talking to @snotty weirdly? do you mean in a high pitch voice , or like Darth Vader etc etc
There’s a lot of us on here that are friends with Don on FB. He used to post on there pretty much every day.
I think collectively we need to seperate the need to check he's ok from the methods being suggested as if he is simply giving this place a miss for now (or for ever) it would feel like hounding him. I.e. If I took a break from this place and social media, having numerous people from my Facebook page come roaring in saying they've been contacted would hack me off. It is this simple I think.....either he is happy giving it a miss and ignoring all technology, is giving just this place a miss or is trapped down a well. I imagine as and when he'll be in touch, or will go down as a TLB legend.
