The timing makes sense and the surviving relatives list include a John Hammell... :-(

I just looked for it, and I think you're right. If that's him, then it's no wonder that he's been occupied with other things - and rightfully so!
I think one of the ongoing issues with GC is that there are a lot of expenses incurred through use of the site, and a way to properly monetize it for even subsistence purposes has been elusive. I would be willing to bet that there are many PNMs and PNM moms out there who would be willing to pay a little bit for more personal coaching and hand-holding through the major SEC recruitments, if we could figure a way to do that through GC.
I've said it before - I'd be in favor of setting up a paywall of a dollar or two for each new member, if at all possible.

Please help us by continuing to report the spam as it comes in.
Oh, and in during the process of cleaning spam, sometimes a "real thread"
might get caught in the process. Just let us know and we'll fix it.
BTW, this is not a rant or "bitchfest" but folks need to know.
*Now back to your regularly scheduled program*

An ode to NinjaPoodle:
Oh, Ninja, how we appreciate what you do,
Know that when we spam-bitch, it is not at you.
With all on your plate - GC, work and school,
We give our great thanks to a lady so cool.
