I remain unopinionated on pianistimo's disappearance.

Though I cannot help but feel I contributed  :-\

I thought you simply left out the comma after 'why' because of bad grammar. Now that I know that it's not supposed to be there:

why do you consider me a righteous, god-fearing, commandment-following person?

I don't consider you one, and I never said I did.

Hmmm...let's see, after all the previous direct attacks on poor pianistimo, I suggest that her unexplained disappearance is the result of the rapture (being the good christian she apparently is) leaving us poor sinners left behind and wallowing in our self-made hell. ...and that's disrespectful...lighten up.

I still think that it is just remotely possible that she has got a job. Perhaps something suitable for her level of intelligence such as a toilet cleaner at KFC.

Alternatively, she might have gone into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights.

If she stays away for much longer, i will give her a call, just to make sure the silly old bat has not died for our sins.

Actually, thinking about it again, if she died for my sins, she'd be having to die every few minutes or so, which I'm quite certain would not be the case in reality.

Anyway, isn't it high time for an update of the thread title itself, since it's now been far more than a mere ten days? Or has this thread outlived its meaningfulness and run itself to its own natural conclusion? Maybe the answers to these otherwise unanswerable questions are to be found in Paul's letter to the Philadelphians, Chapter 11...

Not at all! You can speculate all you like between now and then, of course, but after that time things may be different (assuming that anyone thinks that 40 days means anything in this context).

Man, one thing is for sure, we would make some pretty f*cked up babies.
Again, one thing is for sure and that is that your use of the first person plural pronoun is at best deeply suspect and at worst beyond risible; I therefore suggest that you take your "we" some place else where it might be wanted, although merely finding such a place would be a monumental achievment in itself. As to babies of the kind that you describe, you are such a prime example of one yourself that I cannot imagine for the life of me why anyone would want even to consider the prospect of making any more...

Back to the subject of Pianistimo's absence, then - assuming that anyone has anything left to say about that...

I am concerned, this is unusual for her. 

I'm reluctant to impose on her privacy but if somebody has her real name, perhaps they could check up on her. 

For some reason while her posts invite frustration she feels like part of the family, I would suspect most of us feel kindly towards her.

I have been worried about her for quite some while.

I did see her last name once. I even looked for it afterward so we could in theory warn her family about what she posts here. But then I couldn't find it anymore.


Let's just hope that she found some sanity and is therefore not posting here anymore.

Ha,

What's the biggie! I haven't been on the board for over a month and nobody gives a sh*t.
In any case, I highly doubt anybody would want to call me to check if I am OK, and frankly, I don't blame you for that...

BTW, I am well and this evening alone spent in "The Elephant and Castle" and "Goat Tavern" in London.

Day after tomorrow I am gonna check some pubs in Zurich and then in Bern.

P.S. Please don't call her. I am sure she is well. The only thing I am afraid she would feel she is needed here and will come back to keep spaming here with her BS. I feel there is way too little space for both of us to be on the same board.
