where have all my bloggers gone?

Why is it that when I find a blog that I really enjoy (and I know there's a lot of crap out there - I mean, look what you're reading), the person responsible for it somehow, all of the sudden, manages to drop off the face of the earth and stop posting new content, even though they done so every day for the past 12 years? Do they just wait for a sucker like me to come along so they can vanish? I think they do. Quite possibly they're off at the "Let's really bug Betsy" convention, coming up with new content to post after I've given up on them. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Post some new stuff, people!!! (I know, I know... Pot, say hello to Kettle.)
