Some of us expressed concern a while back on the coronavirus thread about Justin's sudden disappearance from the Board. His site has been "temporarily down" for months now, and I think that it was mentioned that he generally used one of the Florida libraries from which to post. Haven't most of the libraries reopened, albeit with restrictions?
I sent an email to the address in his profile yesterday, but nothing. Does anyone keep in touch with him outside the messageboard?
Shortly after lock down, I also asked about him. I also sent him an e mail but didn't hear back. I thought he used a library's wi fi, and libraries have been shut down. I just hope he is well and safe and will return when possible.
If I remember correctly, Justin struggles a bit with income in his day-to-day life, which may result in all kinds of trouble that prevents one from going online.

This would be especially sad for him if he were laid off or his job disappeared entirely.
I am touched at the concern. And yes, my job eliminated back in 2017 and it's been hell since; ulcer hell, heart issues, unknown issues, engine fire, you name it.
No, the 'rona didn't get me. It didn't even give me a lousy T-shirt.
Oh my goodness, it's been a struggle. No way to get online, then the library re-opened in a limited capacity for computer use … in a tiny room with five computers. Now, I'm not afraid of 'rona but I don't want it anymore than I want strains of the influenza, the common cold, and anything else that would make me sick, so I avoided it as long as I could.
One hour only. Then in October, the library opened back up to let people in, but still one hour online, which is hard. Between e-mailing, job hunts, and other little things, I'd often run out of time, so I just couldn't come here to say "Hi" or answer e-mails. But rest assured, I saw your touching e-mails -- if not only just in a listing of e-mails -- and I will be replying to them in the coming days. :-)
And oh my goodness, have I got a massive backlog of threads to comment on, so prepare for thread necromancing for a week or two. Or three.
So, hugs, warm fuzzies, and appreciations. All without inappropriately sniffing your hair.

Memories of going to the library nightly and posting here in the earliest days. One hour, time is up. Never long enough. Went on like this for a couple years before finally getting my 1st home computer. And here it is 20 years later with no library to go to. Until a let-up. Finally.
The pestilential era. So it is.
Hang in there, JB. You're a survivor. Stay that way.
