We should be very careful in critiziing people who suddenly stop posting. Making assumptions, especially negative ones, is unfair and unrealistic. In my own case, my wife knows nothing about the computer and I have no children. If I was seriously ill or died I would DISSAPEAR from my blog sites, memberships and contact lists. In most cases we use aliases so no one would know what happened - just "gone". Think about it, be kind just in case.
