Personally I am a little sad, but understand that it is a good thing for her. I count her as a friend, in that I would go out of my way to help her if she needed it and know she would do the same for me, albeit in a virtual world.
I wish her all the best in real life, but hope she will be back some day, in some form or other.
I will continue to make the odd post here, but I will not be as prolific as Sofian!
