Thank you so much for this post. I am very touched that I was missed.

I miss @marty-art, @magiccleatus and @lildebbiecakes, all of whom seem to have quit Steemit or taken a long break.

Part of the feeling of missing them comes from not knowing what happened to them. Did they fall sick? Did someone piss them off? Was their Steemit income too low to bother with? Or maybe they simply got bored with Steemit. Who knows?

This is a constant online problem. Not only are our online friends and contacts transient but we don't even know if they tell us the truth.

Recently my friend was stalked on fb. I showed her how to block this stalker then she told me that she was safe from him in rl as he lives in Miami and she lives in London. I replied that she couldn't believe anything he'd written on fb. He might really live in a London tower block for all she knew.

Anyway, thank you again to @laputis and @organduo for missing Artstorm :)
