Jurassic, and probably the others I've mentioned, has plenty of people that he can go to and just ask about a rule, so he doesn't really need this site for that purpose.

I only hope that this is true, but I doubt it. I've been reading Jurassic Referee's posts for several years, even before I became a member of the Forum, and I am certain that he wouldn't simply leave the Forum without any parting words.
Also, there is a poster on the NFHS forum, who I believe to be Jurassic Referee, posting under a different username, who has also vanished from the NFHS forum.
I am seriously worried about Jurassic Referee. Many members of this Forum have become almost like a family, maybe a dysfunctional family, but a family, to me, or if not that, certainly like my referee colleagues that I actually physically work with, and have fun with, all winter long.
We don't actually see each other, or even know all of our real names, but many of us, I hope, care for each other, like when SWVAREF's daughter got sick, and passed away a few years ago, or when one of us moves up a level, and we all congratulate him, or her.
I'm worried about Jurassic Referee. He's like the crazy uncle in our family.
