Unless they don't remember you. Then it's embarrassing. I've seen this happen a hundred times on various small fora -- the response is either ten other absent community members come out of the woodwork to welcome the user back and exchange catch-me-ups ... or no one comments at all. Both are sort of stupid in my jaded, 'hard to make true friendships on the internet' view.I've been part of a film-related one for ten years now. People wander away and then wander back with a 'here's what I've been up to!' and everyone says "yay!"
