He made an odd thread a week ago, a couple of us did ask if he was OK, no answer.
Jack and I go back many years, often at loggerheads, but obviously I hope nothing is amiss.
Log in Jack if you can.

Maybe he's on holiday. I like Jack, we go back a long way.

Was that the life changing events one?
It did seem to cryptically suggest that something was up and he might not be around for a while. Hopefully he will pop back in and say hello at some point.

He does this from time to time, but the timing with his thread is a bit odd..
Hopefully he just taking a break and it has nothing to do with his health or that of his family..

It was that one Barksdale....maybe he has joined the Jehovah's witnesses.

Okay…I’m re-upping this.
Yes, MD, I know he does sometimes wander off. But it’s been almost a month since he last logged in. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall him ever staying gone for this long before. Like you, I’m hoping the same 🤞🏻

Wasn't he in his eighties and not really that well?

I'm guessing early to mid 70s..He had back issues and a few other ailments but he seems active.

I hope he's ok. Maybe having time off, hospital or resting.

I'm sure he's older than that.

I don't think he is. Vaguely remember him saying he was in his later 50's on the Mirror....that's around 17 years ago.
He just seemed older because he moaned a lot.

From what I recall, mid-70s does sound about right.
Anyway, hopefully he’ll be back and moaning again here soon.

Yes about right, 77 or there abouts.

I always had some time for this gentleman and he was very kind to me and always had nice word. I will miss him if he has gone. I feel sometimes he was sidelined on this forum by some posters, not sure why we are all different etc, that may not have helped X

Maybe on holiday and recuperating from that. I know I used to need a rest after my holidays

Hope all is well Jack if you're looking in. Have no clue if the JW thing was in jest or not, I'm easily confused! Hope all is good with you anyway :-)

I've always got on with Jack, through all the forums.
I do hope he's ok. He's been off grid quite awhile now. 😔

Hopefully he's ok Magica, maybe just wanted a break off forums. It would be lovely if he could say hello and ease people's minds.
Hope he’s doing okay, wherever he is 🤷🏻♀️
