FOSTA fear, real or not....
Perhaps the ladies would like to reach out to some of their "favorite fellas" they have met through the years here, just in case something happens to eccie. I know they have plenty to choose from but I bet they have a "short list" of favs. I, for one, would not be offended if they emailed or PMd some eccie-alternative contact info.
Not that I am on anyone's fav list.......
