I got a name from the police dept

I don't know why I did not think of this sooner. I know who it is.
But I won't betray trust and put it here.

I know that is all that matters. You know who you are, please send me a Pm so we can talk about this.

Well, hopefully, you can join under a new name now and continue to
have the fellowship of the friends who are sympathetic with your situation, Speed.

If this causes you to drop your membership here, I can say only that
I have enjoyed talking to you and wish you health and contentment in days and years to come.

Thanks for letting us know that it was from this forum. Tragedy, that's for certain to know we have this going on here, though I suspect it was a lack of knowledge about how to handle the situation.

Best wishes.

But what you got from the police department is the real name.

You still cannot match it with a userid on the forum.

Unless they've traded names already.

Well whoever did it might as well own up. If they really did it out of concern for Speed, I mean.

They did, and I forgave them. Time to move forward.

Good!!!!
