Feed is super easy to control.

See what you want.
Block what you don't.

Otherwise I wouldn't be on it at all...

Maybe he's taking a break. I was just trying to locate his last few posts when I saw your post--thanks for raising this topic.

I sure hope he's okay. He's an amazing DUer!

The reason I'm a bit worried is that Dennis Donovan is so conscientious and such a just plain nice guy and a team player. I can't see him taking a long break from DU without at least leaving one comment, or leaving a quick comment on this thread just to reassure everybody.

I really do hope he's okay. I totally respect his right to privacy, but I was sure hoping that if he could he'd leave a comment on this thread.

Thinking good thoughts for him!

(And thanks again for this thread, SheltieLover, and for keeping it floating around just in case somebody knows something)

telling him he was missed here. Tried not to pressure him to respond because we all need a break sometimes. He didn't answer though, and that was days ago.
