Punki,
I do not believe I implied any inside knowledge as a Talkboard member in my post. It was my opinion, and mine alone.
My response was as follows: If twenty people have said they have heard from DOC, isn't that enough to indicate he is alright?
I am sure over 100,000 or more visitors to FT have not heard from DOC... do we need to hear from every one of them before we can close the thread?
You yourself indicated you just wanted to know if he was ok... and that you had tried emailing him with no success. You then indicated that it was your email system that was the problem... seems like you answered your own question.
As you saw, that thread moved into a "support vote" (which I voted) for Doc... and some negative comments started again (from the expected naysayers). It was obvious that the question you had asked had been answered... and the thread was going in a direction that I do believe you would agree was not where you had intended.
