Dod101 gone fishing?

[Lootman]

Nothing here from Dod in 3 weeks. Not that long an absence but Dod is a prolific poster here, averaging over 7 posts a day, so thought I would ask about my favourite curmudgeon here. Anyone know?

Last seen on LF 24th March. Do hope OK, missing him.

Ditto IAAG.

He's ok, just taking a break. C.

Has anyone seen anything of Dod lately? I haven't noticed any posts by him for a while, and I PMs him without a response. As he would normally write back, I thing he may be unwell.

There was a post "somewhere" which suggested he was taking a break.

edit : though I'm not sure, TBH!

Yes, unfortunately you may be right. He mentioned some time ago that he was in hospital, that must have been 3 months or so ago. His views about investment, particularly about company culture, were full of wisdom and always worth reading IMO. His absence is a great loss to TLF.

Well let's just hope he's having a trip abroad or something similar.

[Arborbridge]

I'm not sure how these things work, but I wonder if there's a way of admins knowing what's happened?

Though, I guess he either doesn't want to talk, or he is not well - or worse. It just would be nice to know and in the event that the worst has happened, pay tribute.

I'm pretty sure he lived alone as a widower.

Here's the post that said he was taking a break.

I'm hoping he'll be back soon (grumbling that we're creating non-financial posts)

I read that as IAAG taking a break, not Dod unfortunately.

It has been known in the past for our Clariman to email users directly, for various reasons. I feel sure that if we are concerned he would be willing to send a precautionary query by email.

I was thinking about Dod again now having just re-read a reply of his to one of my posts. I am pretty sure he would have something to say about the General Election here, but radio silence continues.

[UncleEbenezer]

Anyone know about his real life? Does he, for example, have a missus who'd be likely to let us know if anything had happened?

[oldapple]

From memory, I think he has had two wives, both passed away. It was a conversation about Marie Curie nurses in which I think he mentioned caring for his wife or wives. I do hope he will reappear on Lemonfool one day soon.

[Hypster]

I too was thinking of him again when he hadn’t been back to comment on HSBC. I think he had a son who lives in Ireland.

It makes one think about leaving a note with one's will, asking that various forums be informed.

Back in October 2017 he wrote viewtopic.php?p=550751#p550751

I had a visit from my son and daughter in law who live in Co Antrim, N Ireland last weekend
