Yes, that October 21 date is when, I believe, Andrea started signing off with "Powered by Poet."

I, too, wonder how she is, but she posted this last November that she was still reading the board, so I trust she's fine, but done for now with posting. I'm sure there are some days that she is quite happy with her decision to stop posting, and there are others when she doesn't even think about the Board, and, of course, she should do what suits her best.
