Where is Anya

Someone kept notes on other GNetters? ????

I don't think it was at all like it sounds (although I didn't 'know' GreatNan); it was probably an aide-memoire if she was helping someone with problems.

It wasn't great nan I thought about but another poster who had 4/5 name changes and was able to quote from earlier posts by various people on all sorts of topics because She kept track of posts.

She also kept referring to her faith, the bible and 'keeping to the rules' to the extent that she regularly consulted GNHQ about whether or not rules had been broken!

Yes mcem that’s who I was thinking of too!

Was it soontobe?

I believe that may have been one of the 'incarnations'!

But I thought she was banned !

Well remembered downtoearth.
She used to get on my nerves.

It's no secret that Greatnan was a dear friend of mine whom I visited twice in her apartment in the Alps and I continue to mourn her very untimely death. I never saw her with a notebook and if she did keep track of some members it would be with the intention of PM-ing them to offer advice or sympathise with situations they had discussed on line.

I’m fairly new, too, but I remember some of these names and had noticed their disappearance. It’s a pity if GN has changed for the worse.

They are greenfinch!

I'd like to point out that I was not being rude about Greatnan - just repeating what she had said on a thread.

I made no implication that she kept a 'dossier' (which sounds highly sinister and highly emotive) just that she kept a note of relevant bits of information. And she told us!

Greatnan was one of the first on line friends I made on gransnet. Her posts were always well informed and argued. She was a very interesting member of gransnet and her input remains greatly missed.

Yes s2B was one incarnation - unlike Greatnan, I fear her note keeping did have sinister and highly emotive connotations.

I remember greatnan with great fondness,and after a break from GN was shocked to find out of her untimely death,although very forthright she showed compassion to those who needed it,I also had an invitation to spend some time at her home,sadly I was never able to take her up on it

Yes mcem that particular person created a great deal of consternation for me and was the reason I took a break from GN for a short while.
On the other hand I was very fond of Greatnan and always appreciated, and was a little in awe of, her forthrightness.

I still miss Jinglebells has she got another incarnation on GN do you think ?

I miss Jings too and keep looking for clues!

I'm afraid there would be some who would delight in 'outing' jingl if she attempted to sneak back in again. Unless GNHQ lifts the ban I doubt she'll bother.

I have a particular reason for remembering Greatnan as it was the publicity about the fact that she was missing and the help her online friends gave which led me to GN. I seem to remember Granjura was important in the search but she too seems to have disappeared. ?

Granjura’s still around, purpledaffodil, under a different, but eminently guessable name! Try the Brexit threads.

I wish jingl was, but doubt she’ll be back after all this time. GN’s a much poorer place without her.

And I’m another who misses Anya and Ana - if they’re about with new identities I haven’t twigged!

Ana said she was taking a break some time ago. I haven't heard from her since. I miss her too.

She also kept referring to her faith, the bible and 'keeping to the rules' to the extent that she regularly consulted GNHQ about whether or not rules had been broken!
Ah! enlightenment

I hope that if Ana and Anya are reading this thread, they will consider returning to GN, anyway, if you both are then I would like to say hello to you, and hope that everything is ok in your lives.
Ana I miss doing our four Yorkshiremen routine!

Good post lemon.

jings was much less abrasive than lots of posters and I never really understood her crime.

I don't think any of us actually understood what crime Jingles was guilty of, in the eyes of GNHQ. I agree with KittyLester on that one.
