I saw an old thread pop up on page 2 of this forum that had been started by @Justacommeman a long time ago, and realized I hadn’t seen any replies or posts from him in quite awhile. Sure enough, I looked at his profile, and he hasn’t been active in six months. I messaged him yesterday, but unfortunately no reply. I’m concerned.

Does anyone know him personally, and if so, I hope he’s ok 😢. I seem to recall he lives in California.

    I haven't spoken to him in a bit, but he and I know many of the same circle of folks. Therefore, if something bad happened I would hope that I'd find out sooner rather than later. Thus far, I have not heard anything.

    I was likewise concerned and pvt messaged him just a few days ago as well.
    Haven’t heard back. Hopefully he’s ok and moving in other interests.

    I have noticed Mark has not posted in quite a while. We had PM’D a few times and had some areas common to living. He is a heck of a nice guy and I always enjoyed reading his posts as well. I hope he returns, at least to say hello.

    I think he travels for work, so maybe the shoe biz is keeping him busy.

    He last posted on May 28 so he's been away for almost 6 months.

    No apologies necessary, I appreciate you trying to help. I got confused with the “Miss Marks”. I think you’re hoping that the lady in his life might see it.

    I hope she does.

    Thanks.

    And I miss Mark’s presence here, as well!

    That's the way I heard it!! :p Hopefully Mark is enjoying life in a leisurely fashion and chooses to rejoin us at some later date. He is one of the good guys.

    I always liked his backgrounds for the coin photos he posted. They were as iconic as the coins themselves!

    Has Mark posted recently? In this thread? In another thread? I didn't see it. What am I missing?

    Scroll up to the top. When the thread is marked as answered it gets stuck to the top of page 1 of the thread. He posted. :smile:

    Yes, but his post appears out of order within this thread.
    He posted the following very early this morning:

    “Man I can't believe it's been so long since Ive checked in. Thank you for the concern!

    Life and other interests have just got in the way of this hobby. That and I'm beginning to learn to enjoy what I have rather than the thrill of the chase and acquisition.

    Miss you guys and gals!

    Love mark”
