Still failing to post

 Doing one of my spates of cleaning out my inbox by picking a keyword for some newsletter and mass deleting anything from that keyword I don't want to keep, on this occasion CafePress. That often takes me back quite a few years through my inbox, and the keyword picks up more than the newsletter. As usual, I have been reminded of friends and acquaintances from long ago; and have looked up some on the internet to see what has become of them. Some of them have simply moved on to other fandoms or other social media, or in one case being a town councillor in Glasgow. Others haven't posted anywhere I can see for a long time, at least under the name I know them by. Some author websites have gone completely, not even being used as an electronic billboard by some hosting company with the right to the domain name. And I feel a twinge of sadness, because although most of these people were not close friends they were still people I liked, and I will never know what happened to them.

So doing another "hi, still here", so people who only know me on this social media platform know I'm still around and safe.
