I've been lurking a lot but haven't felt much like posting. I agree, the Rei disappearance is still a mystery. She was extremely erudite, a terrific writer, and a prolific poster. I suspect foul play, and I'm looking in the Crashfrog direction...
Folks like Stephen ben Yeshua and John Paul, like herpes blisters, are temporary annoyances. They get a lot of attention for a brief while, then disappear. Their eventual return makes us go through the same exact hassles as we've done in each and every previous outbreak.
