It's been a few weeks since TDD posted. He's been
in and out of hospital, and I'm concerned for him.
Sadly, I don't even know his first name ("the")
nor much else. Birmingham Alabama, that's a start.

Anyone know a bit more about the situation?

The man is thinking much the same. I am concerned
that TDD may have reached the end of his mortal
stay. If this proves to be true, I'd like do
something, however small, to honor the man.

We all die sooner or later. Given the ages of the old folks hangering

You are, by asking about him. But, if he is gone, it would be nice to let
his friends nearby where he lived know he was appreciated on the web.

I am acquainted (online) with a person who may be able to find out the

can't promise any results, all I can do is ask. It's nice of you to be

TDD spoke here a number of times about living on an old farmstead in
B' ham. Not sure if it was passed down by family of not.

A couple of times he mentioned Ruffer Mountain National Preserve, I
think he said it bordered the property he lived on.

I sure miss him and Heybub too. They both could get folks riled up

The person I spoke with has no new news from a person who lives near
TDD. The "neighbor" said they would keep his online group of friends
updated, so at this point, without an update, the status is unknown, but
at least there is no bad news. If I hear anything else I will post it here.

Usenet is a dying medium. Virtually all of us have been cut off by our
ISPs, and have had to find other providers. Groups that once thrived
have withered and disappeared. I look around and neither my wife, nor
my children, even knows that usenet exists, much less that the alter ego
I choose to use to fight spam, is me, or that I read these groups. If I
find a posting that I think would interest someone, I forward it, and
when they receive it it is as an email. I doubt they research it and
find out about usenet.

When my time comes, I think my last thoughts will be of something other
than posting my imminent demise.

So when someone goes missing, my thoughts are that they have either lost
interest, forgotten their password, or moved on. I think that is the
nature of usenet.

By contrast, I participate in a web-based forum about events in my town,
and they make us use our actual name, so someone is bound to note my
passing and post it, so the others can rush over and steal my tools.

First, regret and best wishes. If you were LDS,
I'd suggest call your home teachers and get a
priesthood blessing. Still a good idea, even if
you're not LDS, but it will take more phone calls.
Yes, LDS / Mormon priesthood blessings are for any
one who sincerely asks.

A couple decades ago, a friend had a nose bleed.
He looked it up in a homeopathic book, and says
often calcium deficiency weakens blood vessels.
A couple Tums antacids with calcium might help.
IANAL/MD, advice worth what you paid.
