The trouble is that many of us *did* have Gracie's email address. She quit answering them the same time she quit posting. Which might have meant something caused her to make a complete break, or it might (as it did) have meant something else. That's why I was as concerned as I was. People stop posting for various reasons, but only a few also stop replying to email. Gracie wasn't the only one, but it is a lot rarer.
I don't know that there is any way. I suppose if anyone knows someone's real name and place of residence they'd be able to really check, but aside from that, we're bound to be worried sometimes.
I know how you feel, though, Judy. It's been bothering me quite a bit. We often quit hearing from people on Babble. And I always like to assume it's because they went on to feel better and don't need it anymore.
