I miss him too and worry about the Colorado fires impacting him.
+1Due to COVID changing the tone of the forum,I've noticed more then a few regular posters have gone AWOL...if any of you are reading this, you have been missed and I hope you will return someday. I've PM a couple of them myself to share that feeling.
If it helps we had a regular fight about vegan/meat today which felt almost normal.

It is really too bad. We've lost some excellent members due to the way the forum has changed. One went out with a blast of a thread.

Currently there are 35,073 members. Everyone's searching for Covid info and I bet this forum gets more traffic even from non-members than pre-Covid.

The thread was titled something like: "Too sickened by Coronavirus to continue". So, yeah, the reference was Covid.Is your reference to Covid and indirect politics?
The blast of the thread appeared to be a different issue.

me too I thought he just quit posting..
I find nothing unusual about posters leaving the forum.
I've been a member here for more than 18 years and I've seen an untold number of members come and go. The reasons are as varied as are human personalities and I stopped speculating long ago about why people leave or trying to assign blame for their departure. We will rarely learn the root cause - other than for a few. RIP Khan, imoldernu, Rich-in-Tampa and all the other deceased E-R members.
