But I can see the general consensus here is to just let people be.
Worry, but do nothing.
Welcome to the world of humans.

I'm about as private as anybody, and I hate the telephone with a passion. But I certainly would not be offended if my disappearance resulted in an "interruption" like a solictious phone call or email made in your behalf by the admins. I live alone, and in this case, it's a bit late for this, but I worry sometimes that I will die and my dog will starve while he waits for the world to notice.

I hope LD's Ok. He's one of the good guys.
