General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

First Mate, I was going to type a number of reasons why some have left or have chosen not to contribute. But, I decided not to bore people with my long list, which probably would have been too long and filled with unpleasant facts.

Quite a time ago, I became aware that many members were not in their early years. As this was quite some time ago, it is realistic to say that some may not be as healthy or as strong as they once were and some may no longer be with us. Sadly, time sometimes brings changes which aren't welcomed.
