   Perhaps there should be a "limbology" for the not-heard-from-in-ages"?   
   I am curious as to the fate of Roy Lieberman.   
   Other people who've moved on from posting may be verified as alive   
   by other means (cf. Jim Beaver) but if we don't know a fate,   
   there could be a list of those for whom to keep a lookout on news.

   I think chronological order is better than reverse.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
