Oh, I should add:

[hmpf]

I do not disappear because I don't care; I disappear - on some level, I think - because I care *too much*. About fandom, about a lot of you, about this weird little, big online life. Sometimes it gets a bit too much, and then, essentially, I just run. Maybe not the healthiest response, all things considered. Still, it keeps me sane. Somewhat. ;-)

(Ooops. I sound like a Methos angst fic.)

I think this is what my previous post was really all about. Trying to explain why I disappear, and that it doesn't mean you guys don't matter to me.
