    FWIW, Arthur's last post to this NG appears to have been on July 16. He
    was posting regularly and just stopped.

    A Friend's last post to this NG was Feb. 16 of last year.

    I wasn’t, but I haven’t seen any of his posts since he blocked me.

    I'm back. I posted the other day that I got annoyed with all the
    negativity I was seeing the group. It wasn't a thought out plan to
    leave, it just sort of evolved that way after a few days of not coming
    back. Then I did on vacation and that kept me away for another couple
    of weeks.

    I actually was still reading some of the posts in the Facebook group.
    But I didn't see someone reached out on messenger until several days
    went by. Even this post I didn't see until just now.
