It has been more than a week since nickb was seen here. Am I the only person worried?

He didn't show up in Startup School though he said he would. I hope he is okay.

Could you not send him an email (it's in his profile)?

Several people said they saw him in the pizza line, but I was too far back to see for myself.

Yeah, I saw him standing in line right next to Elvis.

Yeah. Maybe he's off implementing a downmod arrow so I can bury this crap submission.

Maybe a reddit-like "hide" feature would be better -- doesn't affect anyone else, just let's you skip stuff you'd personally not see. I'm sure someone has the GreaseMonkey-Fu to do this without troubling the site programmers.

My criticism is valid. nickb is one of two things: A non-existent person, or a person who has real-life contacts who can submit a missing-persons report if required.
