> I am still puzzled--although there were some things said in the thread about the former babbler that clearly were negative, by one particular poster (and yes, I see now from the "testing" post that it is likely someone with a brand new name), others in the thread said only nice things about the former babbler, and just expressions of missing her. Other than the one unfair comment about the archives, etc.that came from the "new" poster, I didn't see anyone pursuing any answers as to why the person left.
