James,
I do think silverback is right on. You are a valued member here and have a truck that has a long history on this site. People may not post because not everyone handles situations the same way. I know more about you than you might even think by reading your posts. I remember when you first popped on looking for a rig until you found Dereks. Posting w hazman to get your sig pic. Into KISS, having to get up to NY to take care of your family issues, and most recently your interest in life on other worlds.
We have never met, never spoken via PM or the phone. No GTG's to speak of, except your truck that it. Met her a few times

. If I didn't post on this thread previously, you would never have known I could rattle off those things I know about you. This forum allows people to get to know each other and not always have to comment. It doesn't mean no one cares. People are wrapped up in their own lives as well.
I think I speak for the majority here when I say people are pulling for you. Don't even consider leaving for something like this.
Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your day with your family.
