Please, people: Before posting an OP, could you make sure someone reading it will be able to
understand what it's about without having to ask: Who? What? Where?

Posting something that says, for example, "Wow, she isn't even there" is not comprehensible except
to someone who happens to be in the same room with you at the time of writing.

I, for one, would really appreciate it!

19. I disagree.
It is important that we know where she isn't. It helps narrow down the possible locations of where she might be.
Now when I start searching, I know I don't have to look there because someone has already looked and reported.
Knowing she's not there or here, I can surmise that she is elsewhere. Unless of course, there is another OP advising that she is somewhere else.
