I need to ask him something. Anybody got an email address?

Give him a rest; if I were being periodically "paged" like this I would be irritated like a cult was wondering if I were still part of the group with secret rules.
Where is the bag icon when you need it?
Fratlaw hurt keets' feelings years ago and keets reclused himself for a long time.
Did someone recently do so again?
Don't worry. IMO this place is addicting and he'll return if he is alive.
Additionally, when I was banned from CT for two weeks for one of my caustic and sarcastic posts directed to a long-time member, I was very flattered to see a discussion titled "Where is Insider?" Some of the members missed me as much as I missed them.
Now let's all concentrate and think "Come back Keets. Please come back Keets.

Keets had a bad time in a post where the Disagrees were flying, bad things were being posted, and the whole thing seemed like a street fight to me.
I think that (IMHOP) has to do with his vacation. I for one certainly hope he returns.

FAR FROM ME
As the cafe was closing
On a warm summer night
And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the hit parade
And I hummed a long with the tune
She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it weren't just the music playing
It was me that she was trying to blame
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But it's far, far from me
Well, I leaned on my left leg
In the parking lot dirt
And Cathy was closing the lights
A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right
Why we used to laugh together
And we'd dance to any old song
Well, ya know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second to long
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But it's far, far from me
Well, I started the engine
And I gave it some gas
And Cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat old car
And I was prepared for the worst.
"Will you still see me tomorrow?"
"No, I got too much to do"
Well, a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer too
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But it's far, far from me

Keets won't answer on here. He would have to log in to see what's going on. Me thinks he ain't gonna do that. Does anyone know where else he hangs out? His E-Mail address? Where does he work?
I wouldn't post the info here, though. But if anyone knows anything they should try to locate him to tell him we're wondering what's going on.

Depending on his settings, you could Message him. If he's set up to receive notification of messages, you would be essentially emailing him.

If he is alive, he is loving this attention. @ricko probably knows where he works and how to reach him.
Note how unusual it is to have a thread on CU w/o a post by him.
Fortunately, anyone here could never post again and in a short time... I can only think of one member I'd REALLY miss and perhaps 12 more I'd miss. New thread alert.

I have his work info and number, but I will not post it publicly. If you want it to try and find him, shoot me a note. I thought he was retiring though?

He is not banned and has not been around for about a month.
It's nice that folks miss him. I think he will be glad to know that if he returns.
Might as well tag him so he knows you are asking: @keets
Was last on here 8/28.
I've wondered where he is lately.

Something must have teed him off big time. Wasn't he part of that big Disagree debacle?
Come back Shane........UMM.......I mean Keets. I miss ya.

It's possible that he received the coveted '6th star' and is now invisible to us
Successful transactions with : MICHAELDIXON, Manorcourtman, Bochiman, bolivarshagnasty, AUandAG, onlyroosies, chumley, Weiss, jdimmick, BAJJERFAN, gene1978, TJM965, Smittys, GRANDAM, JTHawaii, mainejoe, softparade, derryb, Ricko
Bad transactions with : nobody to date
The 6th star makes US invisible to the recipient!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I believe that many recently retired persons "set off to see America", and that Mr. Keets is doing something like that.
Maybe he's out doing some target practice. You know, "keets shooting!"

It was that last tarnished coin he posted.
You better show yourself soon, Keets. (worried).
