If the person regularly does business here, then it only makes sense to let the clients know they'll be away. Whether here is the best place to do that is open to argument. Some others just like to keep others in the loop I guess.

This place is a community (right?) so why not tell your friends that you're going on holiday, for a romantic weekend, or just need to unplug? I'm just anti-social so never post that kind of topic up. :P

Ya so it also makes sense to check to see when/if someone's gone away right?

Noticed it a lot... Most often, nobody cares until they're back, and then spam "Welcome back!" messages...

Well that's what the general discussion forum is for, all the rubbish that can't go anywhere else
